    Gauging Yang-Mills symmetries in \((1+1)\)-dimensional space-time (English)
    0 references
    A systematic analysis of the ``minimal coupling'' type of gauging of Yang-Mills symmetries in \((2,2)\)-supersymmetric \((1+1)\)-dimensional space-time is presented. Considering the most general gauge-covariant extension of the supersymmetric algebra and consistency requirements, it is shown that the \((1+1)\)-dimensional theories admit four distinct types of symmetry gauging. Allowing for a duplication among gauge superfield components, it is proved that there also exist additional ``mixed'' types of symmetry gauging. It is established that the quartoid constrained superfields can couple to no gauge superfield at all, the haploid ones can couple only very selectively, while the non-minimal ones couple universally to all gauge superfields.
