CORRIGENDUM: General relationship between linear and nonlinear realisations of supersymmetry
- E. Ivanov, A. Kapustnikov
- Mathematics
- 1 December 1978
The close correspondence between the superfield approach to the supersymmetry and the Volkov-Akulov nonlinear realisation is established. The authors show that any superfield, by certain…
New approach to nonlinear electrodynamics: Dualities as symmetries of interaction
The duality-symmetric nonlinear electrodynamics in a new formulation with auxiliary tensor fields is considered. The Maxwell field strength appears only in bilinear terms of the corresponding generic…
SUPERFIELD FORMULATION OF OSP(1,4) SUPERSYMMETRY
A self-contained superfield approach to global supersymmetry in anti-de Sitter space (OSp(1,4)) is developed. General transformation laws for OSp(1,4) superfields are established, and all basic…
N=4 Supersymmetric Mechanics in Harmonic Superspace

- 11 July 2003
We define N=4, d=1 harmonic superspace HR 1+2|4 with an SU(2)/U(1) harmonic part, SU(2) being one of two factors of the R-symmetry group SU(2)× SU(2) of N=4, d=1 Poincare supersymmetry. We…
Fuzzy CP**(n|m) as a quantum superspace
- E. Ivanov, L. Mezincescu, P. Townsend
- Physics
- 18 November 2003
The `Chern-Simons Quantum Mechanics' of a particle on CP(n|m) is shown to yield the fuzzy descriptions of these superspaces, for which we construct the non-(anti)commuting position operators. For a…

The ‘Chern-Simons Quantum Mechanics’ of a particle on CP (n|m) is shown to yield the fuzzy descriptions of these superspaces, for which we construct the non-(anti)commuting position operators. For a…
Superbranes and Super Born–Infeld Theories as Nonlinear Realizations
- E. Ivanov
- Mathematics
- 19 March 2001
We use a few instructive examples to outline the characteristic features of the approach to superbranes and super Born–Infeld theories based on the concept of partial spontaneous breaking of global…
Harmonic Space and Quaternionic Manifolds
- A. Galperin, E. Ivanov, O. Ogievetsky
- Mathematics
- 29 December 1992
Abstract We find a principle of harmonic analyticity underlying the quaternionic (quaternion-Kahler) geometry and solve the differential constraints which define this geometry. To this end the…
