“…The higher derivative terms free from these problems given in Refs. [61][62][63][64][65] were applied to many topics such as low-energy effective theories [77][78][79][80], SUGRA [63,81], SUSY extension [62,82] of Galileons [83], ghost condensation [61,64], the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) inflation [84], flattening of the inflaton potential [85,86], baby Skyrme models [65,[87][88][89][90][91][92], Skyrme-like models [93][94][95], solitons [65,89,96,97], nonlinear realizations [98], SUSY breaking in modulated vacua [99,100], and a formulation of a liberated SUGRA [101]. For the vector superfield case, ghost-free higher derivative actions were considered in the context of a correction to a scalar potential in SUGRA [102], SUSY Euler-Heisenberg model [53,81,103], nonlinearly self-dual actions [104,105], and the DBI action [106,…”

We investigate three-form gauge theories with higher derivative interactions and their supersymmetric extensions in four space-time dimensions. For the bosonic three-form gauge theories, we show that derivatives on the field strength of the 3-form gauge field yield a tachyon as far as the Lagrangian contains a quadratic kinetic term, while such the term with opposite sign gives rise to a ghost. We confirm that there is neither a tachyon nor a ghost when all higher derivative terms are given by functions of the field strength. For this ghost/tachyon-free Lagrangian, we determine the boundary term necessary for the consistency between the equation of motion and energy-momentum tensor. For supersymmetric extensions, we present ghost/tachyon-free higher derivative interactions of arbitrary order of the field strength and corresponding boundary terms as well. * nitta@phys-h.keio.ac.jp † ryokokur@keio.jp 1 Introduction 3-form gauge theories in four-dimensional (4D) spacetime have been studied extensively in the past decades. They were first considered in the context of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to describe a long-range confinement force between quarks [1,2]. Furthermore, a 3-form gauge field can be regarded to provide an effective description of a Chern-Simons 3-form in Yang-Mills theories [2,3], in particular in the context of the U(1) problem [4,5] and the strong CP problem [6][7][8]. In cosmology, a 3-form gauge field was used for dynamical neutralization of the cosmological constant [9-16], quintessence [17], inflationary models [18][19][20][21][22][23]. A relation between the 3-form gauge theories and condensed matter physics was also discussed, see e.g. [24]. A supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the 3-form gauge fields was first formulated in Ref. [25]. The SUSY 3-form gauge fields naturally appear in superstring theory and M-theory, therefore they were studied extensively with various applications: supergravity (SUGRA) [26][27][28] (see Refs. [29,30] as a review), Stückelberg coupling [31-34], topological coupling [33,35,36], coupling with a membrane [37-39], alternative formulation of old-minimal SUGRA [37, 40-42], gaugino condensation in SUSY Yang-Mills theories [43, 44], the cosmological constant problem [41], SUSY breaking [41,45], string effective theories [42,[46][47][48], and inflationary models [35,49]. Complex 3-form gauge theories were also considered in Refs. [38,39,42].One of the characterizations of p-form gauge fields is their couplings to extended objects. As 1-form and 2-form gauge fields can be electrically coupled to a particle and string, respectively in 4D spacetime, a 3-form gauge field can be electrically coupled to a membrane [1]. Since membranes and 3-form gauge fields naturally arise in string theory and M-theory as fundamental degrees of freedom, 3-form gauge fields in 4D spacetime appear as 4D compactification of these theories. Another characteristic feature of the 3form gauge field is its coupling to scalar fields. Since a field strength of the 3-form gauge field is a 4-form, the ...

“…However, the fermionic part of the supersymmetric models contains potentially dangerous higherderivative terms. A different proposal was made in [15,16] (in four dimensions) and in [17][18][19] (in three dimensions) with N = 1 and N = 2 SUSY. In these cases, the fermionic part of the non-equivalent supersymmetric extensions suffers from the appearance of derivative terms involving the auxiliary field.…”

“…The potential is mandatory to guarantee the existence of solitonic solutions according to the Derrick's theorem. The supersymmetric extensions of the baby Skyrme model have been studied previously [10][11][12][13] (for possible SUSY extensions of Skyrme-type models in four dimensions see [44][45][46][47]). When the σ-model term is absent from the action the resulting model is the so-called BPS (Bogomoln'yi-Prasad-Sommerfeld) baby Skyrme model and, unlike the original proposal it has a Bogomoln'yi bound and solutions saturating it.…”

We construct the N = 2 supersymmetric extensions of different models containing a Chern-Simons term and study their BPS structure. We find that the coupling of the Chern-Simons term to the general gauged nonlinear σ-model allows for general potentials depending on the Kähler metric and preserving two supersymmetries. We construct from supersymmetry the potentials that allow for BPS structures in different CP N models coupled to Chern-Simons and Maxwell terms. We also couple the Chern-Simons term to a higher-derivative field theory (the baby Skyrme model) and study its SUSY extension and BPS structure.
