A Codicil To Massless Gauge Superfields of Higher Half-Odd Integer Superspins
We study theories of 4D, N=1 supersymmetric massless, arbitrary higher half
odd-integer superspins. A new series of such theories is found to exist for
arbitrary superspin Y (Y=s+1/2 for any integer s). The lowest member (s=1) of
the series is the original off-shell formulation of 4D, N=1 supergravity first
presented by Breitenlohner in 1977
A Computer Algorithm For Engineering Off-Shell Multiplets With Four Supercharges On The World Sheet
We present an adinkra-based computer algorithm implemented in a Mathematica
code and use it in a limited demonstration of how to engineer off-shell,
arbitrary N-extended world-sheet supermultiplets. Using one of the outputs from
this algorithm, we present evidence for the unexpected discovery of a
previously unknown 8 - 8 representation of N = 2 world sheet supersymmetry. As
well, we uncover a menagerie of (p, q) = (3, 1) world sheet supermultiplets.Comment: 52 pages, 64 figures, LaTeX twice, added note in proof, addition of
