Abstract

In the $N = 1$ , $d = 3$ superspace, we propose a massive superfield theory formulated in terms of a spinor gauge superfield, whose component content includes a two-form field, and a real scalar matter superfield. For this model, we explicitly calculate the one-loop correction to the superfield effective potential. In particular, we show that the one-loop effective potential is independent the gauge-fixing parameters.
