Bps Supermultiplets in Five Dimensions

چکیده
BPS representations of 5-dimensional supersymmetry algebras are classified. For BPS states preserving 1/2 the supersymmetry, there are two distinct classes of multiplets for N = 4 supersymmetry and three classes for N = 8 supersymmetry. For N = 4 matter theories, the two 1/2 supersymmetric BPS multiplets are the massive vector multiplet and the massive self-dual 2-form multiplet. Some applications to super-Yang-Mills, supergravity and little string theories are considered.

متن کاملBPS Amplitudes, Helicity Supertraces and Membranes in M-Theory
We study BPS dominated loop amplitudes in M-theory on T 2. For this purpose we generalize the concept of helicity supertraces to nine spacetime dimensions. These traces distinguish between various massive supermultiplets and appear as coefficients in their one-loop contributions to n-graviton scattering amplitudes. This can be used to show that only ultrashort BPS multiplets contribute to the R...
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...
متن کاملMagnetic Strings In Five Dimensional Gauged Supergravity Theories
Magnetic BPS string solutions preserving quarter of supersymmetry are obtained for all abelian gauged d = 5 N = 2 supergravity theories coupled to vector supermultiplets. Due to a “generalised Dirac quantization” condition satisfied by the minimized magnetic central charge, the string metric takes a universal form for all five dimensional gauged theories. e-mail: [email protected], [email protected]....
متن کاملFive–Brane BPS States in Heterotic M–Theory
We present explicit methods for computing the discriminant curves and the associated Kodaira type fiber degeneracies of elliptically fibered Calabi–Yau threefolds. These methods are applied to a specific three–family, SU(5) grand unified theory of particle physics within the context of Heterotic M–Theory. It is demonstrated that there is always a region of moduli space where a bulk space five–b...
