Variant image supersymmetric non-Abelian Proca–Stueckelberg formalism in four dimensions Original Research Article

We present a new (variant) formulation of image supersymmetric compensator mechanism for an arbitrary non-Abelian group in four dimensions. We call this ‘variant supersymmetric non-Abelian Proca–Stueckelberg formalism’. Our field content is economical, consisting only of the two multiplets: (i) A non-Abelian vector multiplet image and (ii) a compensator tensor multiplet image. The index I is for the adjoint representation of a non-Abelian gauge group. The image is originally an auxiliary field Hodge-dual to the conventional auxiliary field image. The image and image are compensator fields absorbed respectively into the longitudinal components of image and image which become massive. After the absorption, image becomes no longer auxiliary, but starts propagating as a massive scalar field. We fix all non-trivial cubic interactions in the total Lagrangian, and quadratic interactions in all field equations. The superpartner fermion image acquires a Dirac mass shared with the gaugino image. As an independent confirmation, we give the superspace reformulation of the component results.
