July Superconformal Ward Identities and N = 2 Yang-mills Theory

چکیده
A reformulation of the superconformal Ward identities that combines all the supercon-formal currents and the associated parameters in one multiplet is given for theories with rigid N = 1 or N = 2 supersymmetry. This form of the Ward Identities is applied to spontaneously broken N = 2 Yang-Mills theory and used to derive a condition on the low energy effective action. This condition is satisfied by the solution proposed by Seiberg and Witten.

متن کاملSeiberg-Witten Effective Lagrangian from Superconformal Ward Identities
The low energy effective Lagrangian for N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled to NF < 4 massless matter fields is derived from the superconformal Ward identities, assuming that the number of strong coupling singularities is finite.
متن کاملAnomalous N=2 Superconformal Ward Identities
The N=2 superconformal Ward identities and their anomalies are discussed in N=2 superspace (including N=2 harmonic superspace), at the level of the low-energy effective action (LEEA) in four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric field theories. The (first) chiral N=2 supergravity compensator is related to the known N=2 anomalous Ward identity in the N=2 (abelian) vector mulitplet sector. As regards th...
متن کاملSome Systematics of the Coupling Constant Dependence of N = 4 Yang–Mills
The operator, Oτ , that generates infinitesimal changes of the coupling constant in N = 4 Yang–Mills sits in the same supermultiplet as the superconformal currents. We show how superconformal current Ward identities determine the operator product expansion of Oτ with any other operator. In certain cases, this leads to constraints on the coupling dependence of correlation functions in N = 4 Yang...
متن کاملImplications of Superconformal Symmetry for Interacting (2,0) Tensor Multiplets
We study the structure of the four-point correlation function of the lowest-dimension 1/2 BPS operators (stress-tensor multiplets) in the (2,0) six-dimensional theory. We first discuss the superconformal Ward identities and the group-theoretical restrictions on the corresponding OPE. We show that the general solution of the Ward identities is expressed in terms of a single function of the two c...
