A note on supersymmetric higher-order theories: from Kitaev to Zamm
Comments: 17 pages, 10 figures; v2: references added, matches the published version

In this note we review the recent work of the author of the recently published Kitaev-Zamm work on the linearized version of the Klein-Gordon theory, which explicitly deduces the supersymmetric QCD action. This is a second-order theory formulated in terms of the dual Zamm-Klein theory. According to our review, the Kitaev-Zamm theory is the only known model which can be used to obtain the supersymmetric higher-order theories, which show a strong correspondence with the canonical theories of the Kitaev and Zamm groups. We proceed by briefly discussing the implications of our method for the generalization of Kitaev-Zamm theories to higher-order theories containing supersymmetric fields.
