Hi!
I am looking for a review article on extended N=4 supersymmetry in 3=2+1 spacetime dimensions.
(8 supercharges in total).
I am familiar with the N=1, d=4 case, but now I need to study the N=4, d=3.

Is anyone aware of the existence of such an introductory article, or a book in which this case is treated, starting from the basics?
In particular I need to understand how to write the SuperYangMills lagrangian, coupled with the matter hypermultiplets.
What does it change from the N=1 case?

Thanks for the advice.

I don't think there is such a thing as a d=3 N=4 super Yang Mills theory. In three dimensions you usually work with Chern Simons theories, but I could be wrong.
