If we can detect N = 4 SUSY quaternionic or 16 supersymmetries in the Clifford algebra CL_16, most likely in a broken symmetry phase, we would be in great shape!
-
The limit turns out to be 6 or 7 dimensions in addition to the four dimensions of length, width, height and time, both possibilities giving rise to exactly eight supersymmetries (M-theory is a proposal to further unify both cases).

So the limit on the number of supersymmetries puts a limit on the number of extra dimensions.

If we want the spin to be between -2 and 2, we cannot have more than eight supersymmetries.

Jonathan Bagger and Neil Lambertthat defines a very promising candidate for a theory describing N M2-branes because it has the required supersymmetries, conformal symmetry, SO (8)

Because translations are broken, (most of the) supersymmetries have to be broken by the lattice, too.

Deconstruction is a method to keep some of the supersymmetries exact, even on the lattice, but fine-tuning of the UV theory is usually needed for the long-distance limit to restore all the supersymmetries.

For instance, there’s a background with 16 unbroken supersymmetries in 6D Minkowski space (8 of each chirality).
