We discuss four off-shell N = 4 D = 1 supersymmetry transformations, their associated one-dimensional σ-models and their mutual relations. They are given by I) the (4, 4) lin linear "root" supermultiplet (supersymmetric extension of R 4 ), II) the (3, 4, 1) lin linear supermultiplet (supersymmetric extension of R 3 ), III) the (3, 4, 1) nl non-linear supermultiplet living on S 3 and IV) the (2, 4, 2) nl non-linear supermultiplet living on S 2 . The I → II map is the supersymmetric extension of the R 4 → R 3 bilinear map, while the II → IV map is the supersymmetric extension of the S 3 → S 2 first Hopf fibration. The restrictions on the S 3 , S 2 spheres are expressed in terms of the stereographic projections. The non-linear supermultiplets, whose supertransformations are local differential polynomials, are not equivalent to the linear supermultiplets with the same field content.The σ-models are determined in terms of an unconstrained prepotential of the target coordinates. The Uniformization Problem requires solving an inverse problem for the prepotential.The basic features of the supersymmetric extension of the second and third Hopf maps are briefly sketched.Finally, the Schur's lemma (i.e. the real, complex or quaternionic property) is extended to all minimal linear supermultiplets up to N ≤ 8.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
