The 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 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 کاملChern-Simons vs. Yang-Mills gaugings in three dimensions
Recently, gauged supergravities in three dimensions with Yang-Mills and ChernSimons type interactions have been constructed. In this article, we demonstrate that any gauging of Yang-Mills type with semisimple gauge group G0, possibly including extra couplings to massive Chern-Simons vectors, is equivalent on-shell to a pure Chern-Simons type gauging with non-semisimple gauge group G0⋉T ⊂ G, whe...
متن کامل[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 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 ...
