Noncommutative associative superproduct for general supersymplectic forms

We define a noncommutative and nonanticommutative associative product for general supersymplectic forms, allowing the explicit treatment of non(anti)commutative field theories from general nonconstant string backgrounds like a graviphoton field. We propose a generalization of deformation quantization a la Fedosov to superspace, which considers noncommutativity in the tangent bundle instead of base space, by defining the Weyl super product of elements of Weyl super algebra bundles. Super Poincare symmetry is not broken and chirality seems not to be compromised in our formulation. We show that, for a particular case, the projection of the Weyl super product to the base space gives rise the Moyal product for non(anti)commutative theories.

Non-singlet Q-deformed N=(1,0) and N=(1,1/2) U(1) actions

In this paper we construct N=(1,0) and N=(1,1/2) non-singlet Q-deformed supersymmetric U(1) actions in components. We obtain an exact expression for the enhanced supersymmetry action by turning off particular degrees of freedom of the deformation tensor. We analyze the behavior of the action upon restoring weekly some of the deformation parameters, obtaining a non trivial interaction term between a scalar and the gauge field, breaking the supersymmetry down to N=(1,0). Additionally, we present the corresponding set of unbroken supersymmetry transformations. We work in harmonic superspace in four Euclidean dimensions.

Non-singlet Q-deformations of N=2 gauge theories

We study a non-anticommutative chiral non-singlet deformation of the N=(1,1) abelian gauge multiplet in Euclidean harmonic superspace. We present a closed form of the gauge transformations and the unbroken N =(1,0) supersymmetry transformations preserving the Wess-Zumino gauge, as well as the bosonic sector of the N =(1,0) invariant action. This contribution is a summary of our main results in hep-th/0510013.

Non-singlet Q-deformation of the N=(1,1) gauge multiplet in harmonic superspace

We study a non-anticommutative chiral non-singlet deformation of the N=(1,1) abelian gauge multiplet in Euclidean harmonic superspace with a product ansatz for the deformation matrix, C^{(αβ)}_{(ik)} = c^{(αβ)}b_{(ik)}. This allows us to obtain in closed form the gauge transformations and the unbroken N=(1,0) supersymmetry transformations preserving the Wess-Zumino gauge, as well as the bosonic sector of the N=(1,0) invariant action. As in the case of a singlet deformation, the bosonic action can be cast in a form where it differs from the free action merely by a scalar factor. The latter is now given by \cosh^2 (2\barϕ\sqrt{c^2 b^2}}), with \barϕbeing one of two scalar fields of the N=(1,1) vector multiplet. We compare our results with previous studies of non-singlet deformations, including the degenerate case b^2=0 which preserves the N=(1,1/2) fraction of N=(1,1) supersymmetry.

N=2 Super-Born-Infeld from Partially Broken N=3 Supersymmetry in d=4

We employ the non-linear realization techniques to relate the N=1 chiral, and the N=2 vector multiplets to the Goldstone spin 1/2 superfield arising from partial supersymmetry breaking of N=2 and N=3 respectively. In both cases, we obtain a family of non-linear transformation laws realizing an extra supersymmetry. In the N=2 case, we find an invariant action which is the low energy limit of the supersymmetric Born-Infeld theory expected to describe a D3-brane in six dimensions.
