Dual Vector Multiplet Coupled to Dual N=1 Supergravity in 10d
نویسنده
چکیده
We couple in superspace a 'dual' vector multiplet (C m 1 ···m 7 , λ α) to the dual version of N = 1 supergravity (e m a , ψ m α , M m 1 ···m 6 , χ α , Φ) in ten-dimensions. Our new 7-form field C has its 8-form field strength H dual to the 2-form field strength F of the conventional vector multiplet. We have found that the H-Bianchi identity must have the form N ∧ F , where N is the 7-form field strength in dual supergravity. We also see why only the dual version of supergravity couples to the dual vector multiplet consistently. The potential anomaly for the dual vector multiplet can be cancelled for the particular gauge group U (1) 496 by the Green-Schwarz mechanism. As a by-product, we also give the globally supersymmetric Abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld interactions for the dual vector multiplet for the first time.

Supergravity in Five Dimensions
We study compactification of five dimensional ungauged N = 2 supergravity coupled to vectorand hypermultiplets on orbifold S/Z2. In the model, the vector multiplets scalar manifold is arbitrary while the hypermultiplet scalars span a generalized self dual Einstein manifold constructed by Calderbank and Pedersen. The bosonic and the fermionic sectors of the low energy effective N = 1 supergravit...

We show that the half-maximal SU (2) gauged supergravity with topological mass term admits coupling of an arbitrary number of n vector multiplets. The chiral circle reduction of the ungauged theory in the dual 2-form formulation gives N = (1, 0) supergravity in 6D coupled to 3p scalars that parametrize the coset SO(p, 3)/SO(p) × SO(3), a dilaton and (p + 3) axions with p ≤ n. Demanding that R-s...

We construct the dual supergravity description of strongly coupled, large N , eightsupercharge gauge theories with fundamental hypermultiplets at points on the mixed CoulombHiggs branch. With certain assumptions about unknown couplings of D-branes to supergravity, this construction gives the correct metric on the hypermultiplet (Higgs-branch) component the moduli space, which decouples from the...
متن کاملMassive Born–Infeld and Other Dual Pairs
We consider massive dual pairs of p–forms and (D − p− 1)–forms described by non–linear Lagrangians, where non–linear curvature terms in one theory translate into non–linear mass– like terms in the dual theory. In particular, for D = 2p and p even the two non–linear structures coincide when the non–linear massless theory is self–dual. This state of affairs finds a natural realization in the four...
متن کاملNew Couplings of Six-Dimensional Supergravity
We describe the couplings of six-dimensional supergravity, which contain a self-dual tensor multiplet, to n T anti-self-dual tensor matter multiplets, n V vector multiplets and n H hypermultiplets. The scalar fields of the tensor multiplets form a coset SO(nT , 1)/SO(nT ), while the scalars in the hypermultiplets form quaternionic Kähler symmetric spaces, the generic example being Sp(nH , 1)/Sp...
