Duality and Restoration of Manifest Supersymmetry
World–sheet and spacetime supersymmetries that are manifest in some string backgrounds may not be so in their T–duals. Nevertheless, they always remain symmetries of the underlying conformal field theory. In previous work the mechanism by which T–duality destroys manifest supersymmetry and gives rise to non–local realizations was found. We give the general conditions for a 2-dim N = 1 supersymm...
متن کاملSelf-duality and Supersymmetry
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 ...
متن کاملMembrane tension and manifest IIB S-duality
A manifestly S-dual, and ‘12 dimensional’, IIB superstring action with an Sl(2;R) doublet of ‘Born-Infeld’ fields is presented. The M-theory origin of the 12th dimension is the M-2-brane tension, which can be regarded as the flux of a 3-form worldvolume field strength. The latter is required by the fact that the M-2-brane can have a boundary on an M-5-brane.
متن کاملCompensators and Manifest Type IIB S - Duality
Using the conformal compensator superfields of N=2 D=4 supergravity, the Type IIB S-duality transformations are expressed as a linear rotation which mixes the compensator and matter superfields. The classical superspace action for D=4 compactifications of Type IIB supergravity is manifestly invariant under this transformation. Furthermore, the introduction of conformal compensators allows a Fra...
متن کاملMagnetic Monopoles, Duality, and Supersymmetry
These notes present a pedagogical introduction to magnetic monopoles and exact electromagnetic duality in supersymmetric gauge theories. They are based on lectures given at the 1995 Trieste Summer School in High Energy Physics and Cosmology and at the 1995 Busstepp Summer School at Cosener’s House.
