Non-abelian Tensor-multiplet Anomalies
نویسنده
چکیده
We use the anomaly cancellation of the M-theory fivebrane to derive the R-symmetry anomalies of the AN (0, 2) tensor-multiplet theories. This result leads to a simple derivation of black hole entropy in d = 4,N = 2 compactifications of M -theory. We also show how the formalism of normal bundle anomaly cancellation clarifies the Kaluza-Klein origin of Chern-Simons terms in gauged supergravity theories. The results imply the existence of interesting 1/N corrections in the AdS/CFT correspondence.

The non-Abelian tensor multiplet in loop space
We introduce a non-Abelian tensor multiplet directly in the loop space associated with flat six-dimensional Minkowski space-time, and derive the supersymmetry variations for on-shell N = (2, 0) supersymmetry. [email protected]
متن کاملA Two-form Formulation of the Vector-tensor Multiplet in Central Charge Superspace
A two-form formulation for the N = 2 vector-tensor multiplet is constructed using superfield methods in central charge superspace. The N = 2 non-Abelian standard supergauge multiplet in central charge superspace is also discussed, as is with the associated Chern-Simons form. We give the constraints, solve the Bianchi identities and present the action for a theory of the vector-tensor multiplet ...
متن کاملThe non-abelian tensor product of normal crossed submodules of groups
In this article, the notions of non-abelian tensor and exterior products of two normal crossed submodules of a given crossed module of groups are introduced and some of their basic properties are established. In particular, we investigate some common properties between normal crossed modules and their tensor products, and present some bounds on the nilpotency class and solvability length of the...
متن کاملOn non-linear superfield versions of the vector-tensor multiplet
We propose a harmonic superspace description of the non-linear vector-tensor N = 2 multiplet. We show that there exist two inequivalent version: the old one in which one of the vectors is the field-strength of a gauge two-form, and a new one in which this vector satisfies a non-linear constraint and cannot be expressed in terms of a potential. In this the new version resembles the non-linear N ...
متن کاملNonlinear Vector-Tensor Multiplets Revisited
We give an off-shell formulation of the N = 2 supersymmetric new nonlinear vector-tensor multiplet. Interactions arise in this model as a consequence of gauging the central charge of the supersymmetry algebra, which in contrast to previous models with local central charge is achieved without a coupling to a vector multiplet. Furthermore, we present a new action formula that follows from couplin...
