We construct a two-dimensional N = 8 supersymmetric quantum mechanics which inherits the most interesting properties of N = 2, d = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Analyzing the superfield constraints, we show that only complex scalar fields from the N = 2, d = 4 vector multiplet become physical bosons in d = 1. The rest of the bosonic components are reduced to auxiliary fields, thus giving rise to the (2, 8, 6) supermultiplet in d = 1. We construct the most general superfield action for this supermultiplet and demonstrate that it possesses duality symmetry extended to the fermionic sector of theory. We also explicitly present the Dirac brackets for the canonical variables and construct the supercharges and Hamiltonian which form a N = 8 super-Poincare algebra with central charges. Finally, we discuss the duality transformations which relate the (2, 8, 6) supermultiplet with the (4, 8, 4) one. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V.
