Superfield approach: N=4 supersymmetric action
Let us define a set of N=4 superfields with one physical bosonic component
restricted by the constraintsthese equations result
in the conditions
The most general N=4 supersymmetric action reads
The bosonic part of the action has the very
simple formwith the notation

Imposing N=4 superconformal symmetry: here we restrict our consideration to the special case of SU(1,1|2) superconformal symmetry. Its natural realization is
where the superfunction E collects all SU(1,1|2) parameters
One may check that the constraints are invariant under the N=4 superconformalgroup if the superfields transform like
1. Superconformal invariance
2. Flat kinetic term for bosons
It is not clear how to find the solutions to this equation in full generality.
We are interested in the subset of actions which features

Superfield approach: Inertial co-ordinatesWe are looking for inertial coordinates, in which the bosonic action
takes the form
After transforming to the y-frame, the superconformal transformations become nonlinear
However, the action is invariant only when the transformation law is

This demand restricts the variable transformation by

Rewriting the constraints in the y-frame one can find
where
One can show that
The consistency condition is

So, our flat connection is symmetric in all three indices. It can be in case if and only if the inverse Jacobian is integrable
In these notations one can rewrite
Hence, there exists a prepotential F obeying the WDVV equation.
Playing a little bit with obtained equations one can find
Thus

Furthermore, some contractions simplify
Thus, all the ‘structure equations of the Hamiltonian approach are fulfilled precisely by
The bosonic potential
where

With the help of the ‘dual superfields’ w, one can give a simple expression forthe superpotential G(y), namely
As expected, the superpotential G(y) determines both prepotentials U and F

So, for the construction of N=4 superconformal mechanical models, in principle one needs to solve only two equations, namely
All other relations and conditions (including WDVV) follow from these!
or
There also possible one more way to solve obtained equations: If prepotential F is known otherwise, e.g. from solving the WDVV equation, it is easier to reconstruct superfeilds u or w from
Their advantage is the linearity, which allows superposition.
