Counting Supershort Supermultiplets

چکیده

We consider multiplet shortening for BPS solitons inN=1 two-dimensional models. Examples of the single-state multiplets were established previously in N=1 Landau-Ginzburg models. The shortening comes at a price of loosing the fermion parity (−1)F due to boundary effects. This implies the disappearance of the boson-fermion classification resulting in abnormal statistics. To count such short multiplets we introduce a new index. We consider the phenomenon of shortening in a broad class of hybrid models which extend the Landau-Ginzburg models to include a nonflat metric on the target space. Our index turns out to be related to the index of the Dirac operator on the soliton moduli space. The latter vanishes in most cases implying the absence of shortening. We also generalize the anomaly in the central charge to take into account the target space metric.

August , 1997 USp ( 2 k ) Matrix Model : F Theory Connection

We present a zero dimensional matrix model based on U Sp(2k) with supermultiplets in symmetric, antisymmetric and fundamental representations. The four dimensional compactification of this model naturally captures the exact results of Sen [1] in F theory. Naive counting tells that the model describes twelve spacetime dimensions. Eight dynamical and eight kinematical supercharges are found, whic...

Superfield Formulation of Nonlinear N = 4 Supermultiplets

We propose a unified superfield formulation of N=4 off-shell supermultiplets in one spacetime dimension using the standard N=4 superspace. The main idea of our approach is a “gluing” together of two linear supermultiplets along their fermions. The functions defining such a gluing obey a system of equations. Each solution of this system provides a new supermultiplet, linear or nonlinear, modulo ...

A Superfield for Every Dash-Chromotopology

The recent classification scheme of so-called adinkraic off-shell supermultiplets of N -extended worldline supersymmetry without central charges finds a combinatorial explosion. Completing our earlier efforts, we now complete the constructive proof that all of these trillions or more of supermultiplets have a superfield representation. While different as superfields and supermultiplets, these a...

Chern-Simons Couplings and Inequivalent Vector-Tensor Multiplets

The off-shell vector-tensor multiplet is considered in an arbitrary background of N = 2 vector supermultiplets. We establish the existence of two inequivalent versions, characterized by different Chern-Simons couplings. In one version the vector field of the vector-tensor multiplet is contained quadratically in the Chern-Simons term, which implies nonlinear terms in the supersymmetry transforma...

Counter-Examples to a Putative Classification of 1-Dimensional, N-extended Supermultiplets

We present a counter-example to a recent claim that supermultiplets of N -extended supersymmetry with no central charge and in 1dimension are specified unambiguously by providing the numbers of component fields in all available engineering dimensions within the supermultiplet.
