Abstract:
We consider the superspace of $D=3$, $N=5$ supersymmetry using
$SO(5)/U(2)$ harmonic coordinates. Three analytic $N=5$ gauge superfields
depend on three vector and six harmonic bosonic coordinates and also on six
Grassmann coordinates. Decomposing these superfields in Grassmann and
harmonic coordinates yields infinite-dimensional supermultiplets including
a three-dimensional gauge Chern–Simons field and auxiliary bosonic and
fermionic fields carrying $SO(5)$ vector indices. The superfield action of
this theory is invariant with respect to the $D=3$, $N=6$ conformal
supersymmetry realized on $N=5$ superfields.
