2 The Problem: SUSY Auxiliary Off-shell SUSY Off-shell completion: Field Problem Adding auxiliary fields to a supersymmetric theory such that the supersymmetric algebra can be satisfied SUSY Auxiliary Off-shell Field Problem: There is not well defined method for off-shell completion of a general theory for which the supersymmetric algebra is not satisfied Seeming contradiction: Prime Example: 4D, N = 4 & 10D, N=1 Maxwell vector supermultiplets Superspace argument: can be embedded in within a formulation involving unconstrained super p-forms. Thus there should existence some type of off-shell formulation. Siegel & Rocek: No-Go Theorem Applying a simple counting argument to all supermultiplets, we find that for the N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory the auxiliary field problem cannot have a solution within any previously known framework. We propose alternatives. Solution: Develop new frameworks

3 Method of Study: RADIO Start: on-shell D-dimensional N-extended theory R: reduced to a 1D on-shell theory AD: perform automorphic duality transformations I: integrate additional fields into 1D representations O: oxide completed theory back up to D dimensions

4 Reduction & Valise Supermultplets 0-brane reduction: reduce a linear theory along one time like direction field redefinitions produce representation as valise supermultiplet: Valise formulation of supersymmetric algebra: SO(1,3) replaced by SU(2) SU(2) generators of spacial rotations: generators of extended SU(2) R-symmetry:

5 4D, N=1 Chiral Multiplet Off-shell 4D, N=1 Chiral Multiplet 0-brane reduction Vectors: On-shell

6 4D, N=1 Chiral Multiplet L and R Matrices Off-shell On-shell

7 Adinkra Networks & SUSY Off-shell Auxiliary Field Problem Adinkra Network vector of bosonic fields, and vector of fermionic fields, supercharges, L-matices, R-matrices assumes nothing about Lorentz invariance: L and R matrices need not be created from SU(2) generators Off-shell condition for valise adinkra: GR(d, N ) or Garden Algebra result of observation about valise matrices from 4D, N=1 theories where: Off-shell completion Deform L and R matrices be n x n matrix with n a multiple of 4 Satisfy Graden Algebra

8 Off-shell completion of 4D, N=1 Chiral Multiplet on 0-brane via Adinkra Network Start: On-shell L and R matrices Off-shell Conditions Deform L and R matrices n x n where n is multiple of 4 (deform matrices with real variables) Demanding L and R matrices satisfy Garden Algebra gives with all others zero Thus we recover the Off-shell 4D, N=1 Chiral Multiplet on the 0-brane up to field redefinitions (F -> ± F & G -> ±G )

9 Summary and Moving Forward Summary: We have produced a well defined method by which we reduced the off-shell auxiliary field problem to a 1D problem by taking a D-dimensional N-Extended on-shell theory reduced it to along on dimension (R), made it into a valise supermultiplet (AD), and integrated in new yields that produced an off-shell representation of the 1D theory (I). Success Next: We have applied this method to on-shell 4D, N=1 chiral and vector multiplets (not shown here), recovering the well known off-shell representations of these theories on the 0-brane, thus giving us promise that this method is a viable step in a new method of off-shell completion for general on-shell supersymmetric theories. Have applied this method with an extra constraint add to the Garden Algebra to on-shell 4D, N=2 tensor and vector and recovered recovering the well known off-shell representations of these theories on the 0-brane We want to test other 4D, N=1 & N=2 theories with well known off-shell and on-shell representations Develop method for the oxidation of off-shell theories on 0-brane back into fully realized higher dimensional theories Apply to on-shell theories for which no none off-shell competition exists A glimpse into a larger question: General Cryptographic Problem Analogy to Adinkra Network Auxiliary Field Problem

10 General Cryptographic Problem Analogy to Auxiliary Field Problem Consider more generally the a set of matrices where: I=1,,N p is a fixed integer r1 to r4p can range from 0 to 4p-1, s1 to s4p can range from 0 to 4p-1 Encryption corresponds to setting l and l-hat parameters to 0. Understanding this problem is equivalent to solving the adinkra network auxiliary problem in full generality
