Rigid supersymmetry with boundaries

چکیده
We construct rigidly supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary actions, both in x-space and in superspace. For each standard supersymmetric bulk action a minimal supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary action follows from an extended F or D-term formula. Additional separately supersymmetric boundary actions can be systematically constructed using co-dimension one multiplets (boundary superfields). We also discuss the orbit of boundary conditions which follow from the Euler-Lagrange variational principle.

Comments on N = ( 2 , 2 ) supersymmetry on two - manifolds
We study curved-space rigid supersymmetry for two-dimensional N = (2, 2) supersymmetric fields theories with a vector-like R-symmetry by coupling such theories to background supergravity. The associated Killing spinors can be viewed as holomorphic sections of particular complex line bundles over Euclidean space-time, which severely restricts the allowed supersymmetric couplings on compact orien...
متن کاملExplicit Supersymmetry Breaking on Boundaries of Warped Extra Dimensions
Explicit supersymmetry breaking is studied in higher dimensional theories by having boundaries respect only a subgroup of the bulk symmetry. If the boundary symmetry is the maximal subgroup allowed by the boundary conditions imposed on the fields, then the symmetry can be consistently gauged; otherwise gauging leads to an inconsistent theory. In a warped fifth dimension, an explicit breaking of...
متن کاملSpontaneous Breaking of Extended Supersymmetry in Global and Local Theories *
We review the " no-go " theorems that severely constrain the breaking of N = 2 supersymmetry to N = 1 (both in rigid supersymmetry and supergravity), and we exhibit some models that evade them.
متن کاملOn QCD String Theory and AdS Dynamics
The AdS/CFT correspondence of elementary string theory has been recently suggested as a “microscopic” approach to QCD string theory in various dimensions. We use the microscopic theory to show that the ultraviolet regime on the string world-sheet is mapped to the ultraviolet effects in QCD. In the case of QCD2, a world-sheet path integral representation of QCD strings is known, in terms of a to...
متن کاملU(n) Gauge Model and Partial Breaking of N = 2 Supersymmetry
We briefly review a construction of N = 2 supersymmetric U (N) gauge model in which rigid N = 2 supersymmetry is spontaneously broken to N = 1. This model generalizes the abelian model considered by Antoniadis, Patouche and Taylor. We discuss the conditions on the vacua of the model with partial super-symmetry breaking.
