Superconformal Tensor Calculus in Five Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a full superconformal tensor calculus in five spacetime dimensions in which the Weyl multiplet has 32 Bose plus 32 Fermi degrees of freedom. It is derived using dimensional reduction from the 6D superconformal tensor calculus. We present two types of 32+32 Weyl multiplets, a vector multiplet, linear multiplet, hypermultiplet and nonlinear multiplet. Their superconformal transformation laws and the embedding and invariant action formulas are given. ∗ E-mail: [email protected] ∗∗ E-mail: [email protected] 1 typeset using PTPTEX.sty §

Superconformal Theories in Six Dimensions
This thesis consists of an introductory text, which is divided into two parts, and six appended research papers. The first part contains a general discussion on conformal and superconformal symmetry in six dimensions, and treats how the corresponding transformations act on space-time and superspace fields. We specialize to the case with chiral (2, 0) supersymmetry. A formalism is presented for ...
متن کاملConformal Non - Geometric Gravity in Six Dimensions and M - Theory above the Planck Energy
The proposal that a strong coupling limit of the five-dimensional type II string theory (M-theory compactified on a 6-torus) in which the Planck length becomes infinite could give a six-dimensional superconformal phase of M-theory is reviewed. This limit exists for the free theory, giving a 6-dimensional theory with (4,0) su-persymmetry compactified on a circle whose radius gives the 5-dimensio...
متن کاملSuperconformal symmetry in the interacting theory of (2, 0) tensor multiplets and self-dual strings
We investigate the concept of superconformal symmetry in six dimensions, applied to the interacting theory of (2, 0) tensor multiplets and self-dual strings. The action of a superconformal transformation on the superspace coordinates is found, both from a six-dimensional perspective and by using a superspace with eight bosonic and four fermionic dimensions. The transformation laws for all field...
متن کاملStrongly Coupled Gravity and Duality
A strong coupling limit of theories whose low-energy effective field theory is 5-dimensional N = 8 supergravity is proposed in which the gravitational coupling becomes large. It is argued that, if this limit exists, it should be a 6-dimensional theory with (4,0) supersymmetry compactified on a circle whose radius gives the 5-dimensional Planck length. The sector corresponding to the D = 5 super...
متن کاملFe b 20 06 Manifest superconformal covariance in six - dimensional ( 2 , 0 ) theory
A superconformal generalization of Dirac’s formalism for manifest conformal covariance is presented and applied to the free (2, 0) tensor multiplet field theory in six dimensions. A graded symmetric superfield, defined on a supercone in a higherdimensional superspace is introduced. This superfield transforms linearly under the transformations of the supergroup OSp(8∗|4), which is the superconfo...
