Supermultiplets in Five Dimensions
نویسنده
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.

The Standard Model from extra dimensions ∗
We present a simple N = 1 five-dimensional model where the fifth dimension is compactified on the orbifold S 1 /Z 2. Non-chiral matter lives in the bulk of the fifth dimension (five dimensions) while chiral matter lives on the fixed points of the orbifold (four-dimensional boundaries). The massless sector constitutes the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model while the massive modes rearrange in...
متن کاملConformally coupled supermultiplets in four and five dimensions
We obtain by superfield methods the exceptional representations of the OSp(2N/4,R) and SU(2,2/1) superalgebras which extend to supersingletons of SU(2,2/2N) and F(4), respectively. These representations describe superconformally coupled multiplets and appear in threeand four-dimensional superconformal field theories which are holographic descriptions of certain antide Sitter supergravities. Lab...
متن کاملCounter-Examples to a Putative Classification of 1-Dimensional, N-extended Supermultiplets
We present a counter-example to a recent claim that supermultiplets of N -extended supersymmetry with no central charge and in 1dimension are specified unambiguously by providing the numbers of component fields in all available engineering dimensions within the supermultiplet.

متن کاملChern-Simons Couplings and Inequivalent Vector-Tensor Multiplets
The off-shell vector-tensor multiplet is considered in an arbitrary background of N = 2 vector supermultiplets. We establish the existence of two inequivalent versions, characterized by different Chern-Simons couplings. In one version the vector field of the vector-tensor multiplet is contained quadratically in the Chern-Simons term, which implies nonlinear terms in the supersymmetry transforma...
