| Summary: | Abstract In this work we obtain known and new supersymmetric extensions of diverse asymptotic symmetries defined in three spacetime dimensions by considering the semigroup expansion method. The super-$$BMS_3$$ BMS3 , the superconformal algebra and new infinite-dimensional superalgebras are obtained by expanding the super-Virasoro algebra. The new superalgebras obtained are supersymmetric extensions of the asymptotic algebras of the Maxwell and the $$\mathfrak {so}(2,2)\oplus \mathfrak {so}(2,1)$$ so(2,2)⊕so(2,1) gravity theories. We extend our results to the $$\mathcal {N}=2$$ N=2 and $$\mathcal {N}=4$$ N=4 cases and find that R-symmetry generators are required. We also show that the new infinite-dimensional structures are related through a flat limit $$\ell \rightarrow \infty $$ ℓ→∞ . |
