A Unified Spinorial Superfield Treatment of the Higher Superspin Superfield Formalism

TL;DR

This paper presents a unified superfield formalism for higher superspin theories, deriving gauge transformations, actions, and Bianchi identities, thus consolidating previous results into a comprehensive framework.

Contribution

It introduces a unified approach to higher superspin superfield formalism, deriving complete Bianchi identities and connecting previous results as special cases.

Findings

Unified treatment of unconstrained spinorial superfield prepotential

Complete set of Bianchi identities derived

Previous results recovered as specific limits

Abstract

We discuss the higher superspin superfield formalism of Kuzenko et al from the basis of a unified treatment of an unconstrained spinorial superfield prepotential, its action and a restricted set of gauge transformations. We recover previous results as distinct limits of this unified treatment and give the first derivations of the complete set of Bianchi identities associated with these equations.
