Supersymmetry in superspace: 35 years of the research activity in LTP

Abstract

This is an overview of the all-years research activity in supersymmetry in the Markov-Ogievetsky group at the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics. It started shortly after the discovery of supersymmetry and is lasting for more than 30 years. In this survey the main emphasis is made on the superspace geometric approaches and unconstrained superfield formulations. Alongside such milestones as the geometric formulation of supergravity and the harmonic superspace approach to extended supersymmetry, some other developments largely contributed by the Dubna theorists are briefly accounted for.
