The Real Anatomy of Complex Linear Superfields    [PDF]

Recent work on classicication of off-shell representations of N-extended
worldline supersymmetry without central charges has uncovered an unexpectedly
vast number--trillions of even just (chromo)topology types--of so called
adinkraic supermultiplets. Herein, we show by explicit analysis that a
long-known but rarely used representation, the complex linear supermultiplet,
is not adinkraic, cannot be decomposed locally, but may be reduced by means of
a Wess-Zumino type gauge. This then indicates that the already unexpectedly
vast number of adinkraic off-shell supersymmetry representations is but the
proverbial tip of the iceberg.
