A Two-form Formulation of the Vector-tensor Multiplet in Central Charge Superspace
نویسنده
چکیده
A two-form formulation for the N = 2 vector-tensor multiplet is constructed using superfield methods in central charge superspace. The N = 2 non-Abelian standard supergauge multiplet in central charge superspace is also discussed, as is with the associated Chern-Simons form. We give the constraints, solve the Bianchi identities and present the action for a theory of the vector-tensor multiplet coupled to the non-Abelian supergauge multiplet via the Chern-Simons form. PACS numbers: 11.30.Pb, 11.15.-q

New N=2 Supersymmetric Vector-Tensor Interaction
An N = 2 supersymmetric self-interaction of the vector-tensor multiplet is presented, in which the vector provides the gauge field for local central charge transformations. The dual description in terms of a vector multiplet and an N = 1 superspace formulation are given. Since the discovery of the relevance of the N = 2 vector-tensor multiplet [1] to certain heterotic string theory compactifica...
متن کامل6 v 1 1 S ep 1 99 6 VECTOR - TENSOR MULTIPLET IN N = 2 SUPERSPACE WITH CENTRAL CHARGE
We use the four-dimensional N = 2 central charge superspace to give a geometrical construction of the Abelian vector-tensor multiplet consisting, under N = 1 supersymmetry, of one vector and one linear multiplet. We derive the component field supersymmetry and central charge transformations, and show that there is a super-Lagrangian, the higher components of which are all total derivatives, all...
متن کاملThe N=2 Vector-tensor Multiplet, Central Charge Superspace, and Chern-simons Couplings
We present a new, alternative interpretation of the vector-tensor multiplet as a 2-form in central charge superspace. This approach provides a geometric description of the (non-trivial) central charge transformations ab initio and is naturally generalized to include couplings of Chern-Simons forms to the antisymmetric tensor gauge field, giving rise to a N = 2 supersymmetric version of the Gree...
متن کاملSupersymmetry with Gauged Central Charge
We develop a general setting for N = 2 rigid supersymmetric field theories with gauged central charge in harmonic superspace. We consider those N = 2 multiplets which have a finite number of off-shell components and exist off shell owing to a non-trivial central charge. This class includes, in particular, the hypermultiplet with central charge and various versions of the vector-tensor multiplet...
متن کاملEquations of motion for N = 4 supergravity with antisymmetric tensor from its geometric description in central charge superspace
We consider the geometrical formulation in central charge superspace of the N = 4 supergravity containing an antisymmetric tensor gauge field. The theory is on-shell, so clearly, the constraints used for the identification of the multiplet together with the superspace Bianchi identities imply equations of motion for the component fields. We deduce these equations of motion in terms of supercova...
