A superspace gauge-invariant formulation of a massive tridimensional 2-form field
نویسنده
چکیده
By dimensional reduction of a massive supersymmetric B∧F theory, a manifestly N = 1 supersymmetric completion of a massive antisymmetric tensor gauge theory is constructed in (2+1) dimensions. In the N = 1−D = 3 superspace, a new topological term is used to give mass for the Kalb-Ramond field. We have introduced a massive gauge invariant model using the Stückelberg formalism and an abelian topologically massive theory for the Kalb-Ramond superfield. An equivalence of both massive models is suggested. Further, a component field analysis is performed, showing a second supersymmetry in the model.

Superspace formulation of Yang-Mills theory. II. Inclusion of gauge-invariant operators and scalars.
In a superspace formulation of Yang-Mills theory previously proposed, we show how gauge-invariant operators and scalars can be incorporated keeping intact the (broken) Osp(3, 1|2) symmetry of the superspace action. We show in both cases, that the WT identities can be cast in a simple form ∂W̄ ∂θ = 0. e-mail address : [email protected] e-mail address : [email protected] 1
متن کاملSuperspace formulation of ten-dimensional N=1 supergravity coupled to N=1 super Yang-Mills theory.
We present an on-shell superspace formulation of ten-dimensional N = 1 supergravity coupled to N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory. The coupling is completely specified in superspace by the Bianchi dH = crtrF2, where H is the gauge-invariant S-form field strength of supergravity and F is the 2-form super Yang-Mills field strength. We also briefly discuss the theory that results from modifying this Bi...
متن کاملN = 2 Toda and KdV systems in extended superspace
We give a gauge invariant formulation of N = 2 supersymmetric abelian Toda field equations in N = 2 superspace. Superconformal invariance is studied. The conserved currents are shown to be associated with Drinfeld-Sokolov type gauges. The extension to non-abelian N = 2 Toda equations is discussed. Very similar methods are then applied to a matrix formulation in N = 2 superspace of one of the N ...
متن کاملSuperspace formulation of general massive gauge theories and geometric interpretation of mass–dependent BRST symmetries
A superspace formulation is proposed for the osp(1, 2)–covariant Lagrangian quantization of general massive gauge theories. The superalgebra osp(1, 2) is considered as subalgebra of the superalgebra sl(1, 2) ∼ osp(2, 2) which may be considered as the algebra of generators of the conformal group in a superspace with two anticommuting coordinates. The mass–dependent (anti)BRST symmetries of prope...
متن کاملAlternative Formulation for Duality - Symmetric Eleven - Dimensional Supergravity Coupled to Super M - 5 - Brane
We present an alternative formulation of duality-symmetric eleven-dimensional supergravity with both three-form and six-form gauge fields. Instead of the recently-proposed scalar auxiliary field, we use a simpler lagrangian with a non-propagating auxiliary multiplier tensor field with eight-indices. We also complete the superspace formulation in a duality-symmetric manner. An alternative super ...
