Editing Supermultiplet (section)

==Naming and classification==
The most commonly used supermultiplets are vector multiplets, chiral multiplets (in <math>d = 4,\mathcal{N} = 1</math> supersymmetry for example), hypermultiplets (in <math>d = 4,\mathcal{N} = 2</math> supersymmetry for example), tensor multiplets and gravity multiplets.  The highest component of a vector multiplet is a [[gauge boson]], the highest component of a chiral or hypermultiplet is a [[spinor]], the highest component of a gravity multiplet is a [[graviton]].  The names are defined so as to be invariant under [[dimensional reduction]], although the organization of the fields as representations of the [[Lorentz group]] changes.

The use of these names for the different multiplets can vary in literature. A chiral multiplet (whose highest component is a spinor) may sometimes be referred to as a ''scalar multiplet'', and in <math>d = 4,\mathcal{N} = 2</math> SUSY, a vector multiplet (whose highest component is a vector) can sometimes be referred to as a chiral multiplet.
