Self-Dual Supergravity from N = 2 Strings
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new heterotic N = 2 string with manifest target space supersymmetry is constructed by combining a conventional N = 2 string in the right-moving sector and a Green-SchwarzBerkovits type string in the left-moving sector. The corresponding sigma model is then obtained by turning on background fields for the massless excitations. We compute the beta functions and we partially check the OPE’s of the superconformal algebra perturbatively in α, all in superspace. The resulting field equations describe N = 1 self-dual supergravity. e-mail:[email protected] e-mail:[email protected]

We show that four-dimensional N = 2 ungauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity can be embedded on the Randall-Sundrum 3-brane, as a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of five-dimensional N = 4 gauged supergravity. In particular, this allows us to describe four-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black holes within the Randall-Sundrum scenario. Using earlier results on the embedding of five-dimensional N ...

Taking the N=2 strings as the starting point, we discuss the equivalent self-dual field theories and analyse their symmetry structure in 2 + 2 dimensions. Restoring the full ‘Lorentz’ invariance in the target space necessarily leads to an extension of the N=2 string theory to a theory of 2 + 2 dimensional supermembranes propagating in 2 + 10 dimensional target space. The supermembrane requires ...

As open N=2 or 4 strings describe self-dual N=4 super Yang-Mills in 2+2 dimensions, the corresponding closed (heterotic) strings describe self-dual un-gauged (gauged) N=8 supergravity. These theories are conveniently formulated in a chiral superspace with general supercoordinate and local OSp(8|2) gauge invariances. The super-light-cone and covariant-component actions are analyzed. Because only...
متن کاملSelf-duality and Supersymmetry
Chiral/self-dual restrictions of various super Yang-Mills and supergravity theories in (2,2) dimensions are described. These include the N=1 supergravity with a cosmological term and the N=1 new minimal supergravity theory. In the latter case, a self-duality condition on a torsionful Riemann curvature is possible, and it implies the equations of motion that follow from an R 2 type supergravity ...
متن کاملThe Supergravity Dual of N = 1 Super Yang - Mills Theory
We find an exact, N = 1 supersymmetric kink solution of 5d gauged supergravity. We associate this solution with the RG flow from N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory, deformed by a relevant operator, to pure N = 1 super Yang-Mills in the IR. We test this identification by computing various QFT quantities using the supergravity dual: the tension of electric and magnetic strings and the gaugino condensa...
