$\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded supersymmetry via superfield on minimal $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-superspace

Abstract

A superfield formalism for the minimal $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded version of supersymmetry is developed. This is done by using the recently introduced definition of integration on the minimal $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-superspace. It is shown that one may construct $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-supersymmetric action by the procedure similar to the standard supersymmetry. However, the Lagrangian obtained has very general interaction terms, which give rise to a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extension of many known theories defined in two-dimensional spacetime. As an illustration, we will give a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-extension of the sine-Gordon model different from the one already discussed in the literature.
