Couplings of ${\cal N}=4$, $d=1$ mirror supermultiplets

We construct models of coupled semi-dynamical (spin) and dynamical mirror multiplets of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric mechanics in $d=1$ harmonic superspace. Specifically, we consider a semi-dynamical mirror multiplet ${\bf (3,4,1)}$ coupled to dynamical mirror multiplets ${\bf (1, 4, 3)}$ and ${\bf (2, 4, 2)}$. Coupling of the multiplets ${\bf (3, 4, 1)}$ and ${\bf (1, 4, 3)}$ yields a mirror counterpart of the earlier constructed model implying the Nahm equations for the spin variables with the bosonic component of the multiplet ${\bf (1, 4, 3)}$ as an evolution parameter. We also couple the mirror multiplet ${\bf (2,4,2)}$ to the mirror semi-dynamical multiplet ${\bf (3, 4, 1)}$ using chiral ${\cal N}=4$ superspace. The models constructed admit a generalization to the SU$(2|1)$ deformation of ${\cal N}=4$, $d=1$ Poincaré supersymmetry.
