On Harmonic Superspaces and Superconformal Fields in Four Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
Representations of four-dimensional superconformal groups on harmonic superfields are discussed. It is shown how various short representations can be obtained by parabolic induction. It is also shown that such short multiplets may admit several descriptions as superfields on different superspaces. In particular, this is the case for on-shell massless superfields. This allows a description of short representations as explicit products of fundamental fields. Superconformal transformations of analytic fields in real harmonic superspaces are given explicitly.

Superfield representations of superconformal groups
Representations of four dimensional superconformal groups are constructed as fields on many different superspaces, including super Minkowski space, chiral superspace, harmonic superspace and analytic superspace. Any unitary irreducible representation can be given as a field on any one of these spaces if we include fields which transform under supergroups. In particular, on analytic superspaces,...
متن کاملRepresentations of (1,0) and (2,0) superconformal algebras in six dimensions: massless and short superfields
We construct unitary representations of (1,0) and (2,0) superconformal algebras in six dimensions by using superfields defined on harmonic superspaces with coset manifolds USp(2n)/[U(1)], n = 1, 2. In the spirit of the AdS7/CFT6 correspondence massless conformal fields correspond to “supersingletons” in AdS7. By tensoring them we produce all short representations corresponding to 1/2 and 1/4 BP...
متن کاملHarmonic Superspaces from Superstrings
We derive harmonic superspaces for N = 2, 3, 4 SYM theory in four dimensions from superstring theory. The pure spinors in ten dimensions are dimensionally reduced and yield the harmonic coordinates. Two anticommuting BRST charges implement Grassmann analyticity and harmonic analyticity. The string field theory action produces the action and field equations for N=3 SYM theory in harmonic supersp...
متن کاملYang - Mills Theory Soluble ? 1
The superconformal properties of N = 4 Yang-Mills theory are most naturally studied using the formalism of harmonic superspace. Superconformal invariance is shown to imply that the Green's functions of analytic operators are invariant holomorphic sections of a line bundle on a product of certain harmonic superspaces and it is argued that the theory is soluble for a class of such operators.
متن کاملSuperconformal Ward Identities and Their Solution
Superconformal Ward identities are derived for the the four point functions of chiral primary BPS operators for N = 2, 4 superconformal symmetry in four dimensions. Manipulations of arbitrary tensorial fields are simplified by introducing a null vector so that the four point functions depend on two internal R-symmetry invariants as well as two conformal invariants. The solutions of these identi...
