Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Equations in 10+2 Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a model for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 10+2 dimensions. Our construction uses a constant null vector, and leads to a consistent set of field equations and constraints. The model is invariant under generalized translations and an extra gauge transformation. Ordinary dimensional reduction to ten dimensions yields the usual supersymmetric Yang-Mills equations, while dimensional reduction to 2+2 yields supersymmetric Yang-Mills equations in which the Poincaré supersymmetry is reduced by a null vector. We also give the corresponding formulation in superspace. 1 Research supported in part by NSF Grant PHY-9341926 and DOE Grant DE-FG02-94ER40854 2 Research supported in part by NSF Grant PHY-9411543

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory in Eleven Dimensions
We present a Lorentz invariant lagrangian formulation for a supersymmetric Yang-Mills vector multiplet in eleven dimensions (11D). The Lorentz symmetry is broken at the field equation level, and therefore the breaking is spontaneous, as in other formulations of supersymmetric theories in 12D or higher dimensions. We introduce a space-like unit vector formed by the gradient of a scalar field, av...
متن کاملLagrangian and Covariant Field Equations for Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory in 12
We present a lagrangian formulation for recently-proposed supersym-metric Yang-Mills theory in twelve dimensions. The field content of our multiplet has an additional auxiliary vector field in the adjoint representation. The usual Yang-Mills field strength is modified by a Chern-Simons form containing this auxiliary vector field. This formulation needs no constraint imposed on the component fie...
متن کاملOn Lax pairs and matrix extended simple Toda systems
Noncommutative theories have been studied and probed from different viewpoints (see reviews [18, 34, 48]). For instance, a number of noncommutative generalizations of integrable systems were presented (see, e.g., [9, 16, 17, 24, 39]). Solutions were investigated using the dressing method and Riemann-Hilbert problems, formulations, and properties such as infinite sets of conserved quantities wer...
متن کاملInstantons at Angles
We find solutions of the Yang-Mills field equations with gauge group SU(2) in 4k dimensions which have the interpretation of four-dimensional instantons at angles. These configurations satisfy a BPS-like condition which arises in the context of two-dimensional (4,0)-supersymmetric sigma models. Moreover we show that these solutions are examples of Hermitian-Einstein connections on E. In the pas...
متن کاملSelf - Duality in D ≤ 8 - dimensional Euclidean Gravity
In the context of D-dimensional Euclidean gravity, we define the natural generalisation to D-dimensions of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations, as duality conditions on the curvature 2-form of a Rie-mannian manifold. Solutions to these self-duality equations are provided by manifolds of SU (2), SU (3), G 2 and Spin(7) holonomy. The equations in eight dimensions are a master set for those in lowe...
