[ensl-00459749, v1] Superconformal Sigma Models in Three Dimensions
We construct superconformal gauged sigma models with extended rigid supersymmetry in three dimensions. Those with N > 4 have necessarily flat targets, but the models with N ≤ 4 admit non-flat targets, which are cones with appropriate Sasakian base manifolds. Superconformal symmetry also requires that the three dimensional spacetimes admit conformal Killing spinors which we examine in detail. We...
متن کاملSuperconformal Symmetry in Three-dimensions
Three-dimensional N -extended superconformal symmetry is studied within the superspace formalism. A superconformal Killing equation is derived and its solutions are classified in terms of supertranslations, dilations, Lorentz transformations, Rsymmetry transformations and special superconformal transformations. Superconformal group is then identified with a supermatrix group, OSp(N|2,R), as exp...
متن کاملThe Superconformal Gaugings in Three Dimensions
We show how three-dimensional superconformal theories for any number N ≤ 8 of supersymmetries can be obtained by taking a conformal limit of the corresponding three-dimensional gauged supergravity models. The superconformal theories are characterized by an embedding tensor that satisfies a linear and quadratic constraint. We analyze these constraints and give the general solutions for all cases...
متن کاملNonlinear Sigma Model in Three Dimensions
We study the UV properties of the three-dimensional N = 4 SUSY nonlinear sigma model whose target space is T ∗(CPN−1) (the cotangent bundle of CPN−1) to higher orders in the 1/N expansion. We calculate the β-function to next-to-leading order and verify that it has no quantum corrections at leading and next-to-leading orders.
متن کاملSuperconformal Theories in Six Dimensions
This thesis consists of an introductory text, which is divided into two parts, and six appended research papers. The first part contains a general discussion on conformal and superconformal symmetry in six dimensions, and treats how the corresponding transformations act on space-time and superspace fields. We specialize to the case with chiral (2, 0) supersymmetry. A formalism is presented for ...
