  1. Supermultiplet

    In theoretical physics, a supermultiplet is a representation of a supersymmetry algebra. Then a superfield is a field on superspace which is valued in such a representation. Naïvely, or when considering flat superspace, a superfield can simply be viewed as a function on superspace. Formally, it is a section of an associated supermultiplet bundle. Phenomenologically, superfields are used to describe particles. It is a feature of supersymmetric field theories that particles form pairs, called superpartners where bosons are paired with fermions. These supersymmetric fields are used to build supersymmetric quantum field theories, where the fields are promoted to operators.

  1. Supermultiplet

    In theoretical physics, a supermultiplet is a representation of a supersymmetry algebra. It consists of a collection of particles, called superpartners, corresponding to operators in a quantum field theory which in superspace are represented by superfields. Superfields were introduced by Abdus Salam and J. A. Strathdee in their 1974 article Supergauge Transformations. Operations on superfields and a partial classification were presented a few months later by Sergio Ferrara, Julius Wess and Bruno Zumino in Supergauge Multiplets and Superfields. The most commonly used supermultiplets are vector multiplets, linear multiplets, chiral multiplets, hypermultiplets, tensor multiplets and gravity multiplets. The highest component of a vector multiplet is a gauge boson, the highest component of a chiral or hypermultiplet is a spinor, the highest component of a gravity multiplet is a graviton. The names are defined so as to be invariant under dimensional reduction, although the organization of the fields as representations of the Lorentz group changes. Note, however, that the use of these names for the different multiplets can vary in literature. Sometimes a chiral multiplet can be referred to as a scalar multiplet. Also, in N=2 SUSY, a vector multiplet can sometimes be referred to as a chiral multiplet.
