Conserved higher spin supercurrents for arbitrary spin massless supermultiplets and higher spin superfield cubic interactions

A bstract We give an explicit superspace construction of higher spin conserved supercurrents built out of 4 D , N = 1 massless supermultiplets of arbitrary spin. These supercurrents are gauge invariant and generate a large class of cubic interactions between a massless supermultiplet with superspin...

Summary:A bstract We give an explicit superspace construction of higher spin conserved supercurrents built out of 4 D , N = 1 massless supermultiplets of arbitrary spin. These supercurrents are gauge invariant and generate a large class of cubic interactions between a massless supermultiplet with superspin Y 1 = s 1 + 1/2 and two massless supermultiplets of arbitrary superspin Y 2 . These interactions are possible only for s 1 ≥ 2 Y 2 . At the equality, the supercurrent acquires its simplest form and defines the supersymmetric, higher spin extension of the linearized Bel-Robinson tensor.
