Ghost-free vector superfield actions in supersymmetric higher-derivative theories

Abstract We systematically construct ghost-free higher-derivative actions of Abelian vector supermultiplets in four-dimensional N = 1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ global supersymmetric theories. After giving a simple example which illustrates that a naive introduction of a higher-derivative term gives rise t...
