We study the minimal unitary representation (minrep) of SO(4,2) over an Hilbert space of functions of three variables, obtained by quantizing its quasiconformal action on a five dimensional space. The minrep of SO(4,2), which coincides with the minrep of SU(2,2) similarly constructed, corresponds to a massless conformal scalar in four spacetime dimensions. There exists a one-parameter family of deformations of the minrep of SU(2,2). For positive (negative) integer values of the deformation parameter zeta one obtains positive energy unitary irreducible representations corresponding to massless conformal fields transforming in (0,zeta/2) ((-zeta/2,0)) representation of the SL(2,C) subgroup. We construct the supersymmetric extensions of the minrep of SU(2,2) and its deformations to those of SU(2,2|N). The minimal unitary supermultiplet of SU(2,2|4), in the undeformed case, simply corresponds to the massless N=4 Yang-Mills supermultiplet in four dimensions. For each given non-zero integer value of zeta, one obtains a unique supermultiplet of massless conformal fields of higher spin. For SU(2,2|4) these supermultiplets are simply the doubleton supermultiplets studied in arXiv:hep-th/9806042.

Quantization of the geometric quasiconformal realizations of noncompact groups and supergroups leads directly to their minimal unitary representations (minreps). Using quasiconformal methods massless unitary supermultiplets of superconformal groups S
U(2,2|N) and OSp(8*|2n) in four and six dimensions were constructed as minreps and their U(1) and SU(2) deformations, respectively. In this paper we extend these results to SU(2) deformations of the minrep of N=4 superconformal algebra D(2,1;lambda) in one dimension. We find that SU(2) deformations can be achieved using n pairs of bosons and m pairs of fermions simultaneously. The generators of deformed minimal representations of D(2,1;lambda) commute with the generators of a dual superalgebra OSp(2n*|2m) realized in terms of these bosons and fermions. We show that there exists a precise mapping between symmetry generators of N=4 superconformal models in harmonic superspace studied recently and minimal unitary supermultiplets of D(2,1;lambda) deformed by a pair of bosons. This can be understood as a particular case of a general mapping between the spectra of quantum mechanical quaternionic Kahler sigma models with eight super symmetries and minreps of their isometry groups that descends from the precise mapping established between the 4d, N=2 sigma models coupled to supergravity and minreps of their isometry groups.
We find and classify the ${cal N}=1$ 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 co
ntains a partially massless spin-2 particle also contains a massless photon, a massless spin-$3/2$ particle and a massive spin-$3/2$ 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-$3/2$ 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.
We review the novel quasiconformal realizations of exceptional U-duality groups whose quantization lead directly to their minimal unitary irreducible representations. The group $E_{8(8)}$ can be realized as a quasiconformal group in the 57 dimensiona
l charge-entropy space of BPS black hole solutions of maximal N=8 supergravity in four dimensions and leaves invariant lightlike separations with respect to a quartic norm. Similarly $E_{7(7)}$ acts as a conformal group in the 27 dimensional charge space of BPS black hole solutions in five dimensional N=8 supergravity and leaves invariant lightlike separations with respect to a cubic norm. For the exceptional N=2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theory the corresponding quasiconformal and conformal groups are $E_{8(-24)}$ and $E_{7(-25)}$, respectively. These conformal and quasiconformal groups act as spectrum generating symmetry groups in five and four dimensions and are isomorphic to the U-duality groups of the corresponding supergravity theories in four and three dimensions, respectively. Hence the spectra of these theories are expected to form unitary representations of these groups whose minimal unitary realizations are also reviewed.
The quasiconformal method provides us with a unified approach to the construction of minimal unitary representations (minrep) of noncompact groups, their deformations as well as their supersymmetric extensions. We review the quasiconformal constructi
on of the minrep of SO(d,2), its deformations and their applications to unitary realizations of AdS_{(d+1)}/CFT_d higher spin algebras and their deformations for arbitrary d and supersymmetric extensions for dimensions d less than seven. AdS_{(d+1)}/CFT_d higher spin algebras, their deformations and supersymmetric extensions are given by the enveloping algebras of the quasiconformal realizations of the minrep, its deformations and supersymmetric extensions, respectively, and are in one-to-one correspondence with massless conformal fields for arbitrary d and massless conformal supermultiplets for dimensions d less than seven.
We find and classify the simplest ${cal N}=2$ SUSY multiplets on AdS$_4$ which contain partially massless fields. We do this by studying representations of the ${cal N}=2$, $d=3$ superconformal algebra of the boundary, including new shortening condit
ions that arise in the non-unitary regime. Unlike the ${cal N}=1$ case, the simplest ${cal N}=2$ multiplet containing a partially massless spin-2 is short, containing several exotic fields. More generally, we argue that ${cal N}=2$ supersymmetry allows for short multiplets that contain partially massless spin-$s$ particles of depth $t=s-2$.
