Supersymmetric Partially Massless Fields and Non-Unitary Superconformal Representations

We find and classify the $\mathcal{N}=1$ SUSY multiplets on AdS${}_4$ which contain partially massless fields. We do this by studying the non-unitary representations of the $d=3$ superconformal algebra of the boundary. The simplest super-multiplet which contains a partially massless spin-2 particle also contains a massless photon, a massless spin-$3\mathrm{/}2$ particle and a massive spin-$3\mathrm{/}2$ particle. The gauge parameters form a Wess-Zumino super-multiplet which contains the gauge parameters of the photon, the partially massless graviton, and the massless spin-$3\mathrm{/}2$ particle. We find the AdS${}_4$ action and SUSY transformations for this multiplet. More generally, we classify new types of shortening conditions that can arise for non-unitary representations of the $d=3$ superconformal algebra.
