D = 4, N = 1 supersymmetric Henneaux-Knaepen models Original Research Article

We construct N = 1 supersymmetric versions of four-dimensional Freedman-Townsend models and generalizations thereof found recently by Henneaux and Knaepen, with couplings between 1-form and 2-form gauge potentials. The models are presented both in a superfield formulation with linearly realized supersymmetry and in WZ gauged component form. In the latter formulation the supersymmetry transformations are non-linear and do not commute with all the gauge transformations. Among others, our construction yields N = 1 counterparts of recently found N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories involving vector-tensor multiplets with gauged central charge.
