Self-duality and Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
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 action.

Space Time Interpretation of S–duality and Supersymmetry Violations of T–duality
The S–duality transformations of the lowest order string effective theory admit a space time interpretation for 4–dim backgrounds with one Killing symmetry. Starting from pure gravity and performing a sequence of intertwined T–S–T duality transformations we obtain new solutions which are always pure gravitational. In this fashion, S–duality induces an SL(2, R) transformation in the space of tar...
متن کاملN = (4, 4) Supersymmetry and T-Duality
A sigma model with four-dimensional target space parametrized by chiral and twisted chiral N =(2, 2) superfields can be extended to N =(4, 4) supersymmetry off-shell, but this is not true for a model of semichiral fields, where the N = (4, 4) supersymmetry can only be realized on-shell. The two models can be related to each other by T-duality. In this paper we perform a duality transformation f...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Lorentz-covariant Hyperspaces and Self-duality Equations in Dimensions Greater than (4|4)
We generalise the notions of supersymmetry and superspace by allowing generators and coordinates transforming according to more general Lorentz representations than the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. This yields novel SO(3,1)-covariant superspaces, which we call hyperspaces, having dimensionality greater than (4|4) of traditional super-Minkowski space. As an application, we cons...
متن کاملDual Pairs of Type II String Compactification
Using a U -duality symmetry of type II compactification on T 4 represented by triality action on the T -duality group, and applying the adiabatic argument we construct dual pairs of type II compactifications in lower dimensions. The simplicity of this construction makes it an ideal set up for testing various conjectures about string dualities. In some of these models the type II string has a pe...
متن کاملNon-Abelian duality, parafermions, and supersymmetry.
Non–Abelian duality in relation to supersymmetry is examined. When the action of the isometry group on the complex structures is non–trivial, extended supersymmetry is realized non–locally after duality, using path ordered Wilson lines. Prototype examples considered in detail are, hyper–Kahler metrics with SO(3) isometry and supersymmetric WZW models. For the latter, the natural objects in the ...
