Gauging the Full R - Symmetry Group in Five - dimensional , N = 2 Yang - Mills / Einstein / Tensor Supergravity 1
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that certain five-dimensional, N = 2 Yang-Mills/Einstein supergravity theories admit the gauging of the full R-symmetry group, SU(2)R, of the underlying N = 2 Poincaré superalgebra. This generalizes the previously studied Abelian gaugings of U(1)R ⊂ SU(2)R, and completes the construction of the most general vector and tensor field coupled five-dimensional,N = 2 supergravity theories with gauge interactions. The gauging of SU(2)R turns out to be possible only in special cases, and leads to a new type of scalar potential. For a large class of these theories the potential does not have any critical points. 1 Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant Number PHY-9802510.

متن کاملYang-Mills/Einstein/Tensor Supergravity: Abelian Case
We give a detailed study of the critical points of the potentials of the simplest non-trivial N = 2 gauged Yang-Mills/Einstein supergravity theories with tensor multiplets. The scalar field target space of these examples is SO(1, 1)×SO(2, 1)/SO(2). The possible gauge groups are SO(2)×U(1)R and SO(1, 1) × U(1)R, where U(1)R is a subgroup of the R-symmetry group SU(2)R, and SO(2) and SO(1, 1) are...
متن کاملMaxwell-Einstein Supergravity Theories Coupled to Tensor Multiplets
We study the general gaugings of N = 2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories (MESGT) in five dimensions, extending and generalizing previous work. The global symmetries of these theories are of the form SU(2)R×G, where SU(2)R is the R-symmetry group of the N = 2 Poincaré superalgebra and G is the group of isometries of the scalar manifold that extend to symmetries of the full action. We first ...
متن کاملFive-dimensional Yang-Mills-Einstein supergravity on orbifolds: Parity assignments
We discuss the options for parity assignments in (on-shell)N = 2 five-dimensional Yang-Mills-Einstein supergravity theories (YMESGTs) coupled to tensor and/or hypermultiplets on the orbifold spacetime M4 × S/Z2. This will be useful in the analysis of the low energy effective theories that one obtains on such spacetimes. In contrast to RandallSundrum or Horava-Witten motivated scenarios, and alo...
متن کاملA Note on Graviton Amplitudes for New Twistor String Theories
A new class of twistor string theories were recently constructed by Abou-Zeid, Hull and Mason. The most interesting one of these theories has the particle content of N = 8 supergravity. Arguments are given for the vanishing of the (+ − −)-helicity amplitude for gravitons which suggest that this theory describes a chiral N = 8 supergravity rather than Einstein supergravity. Recently, a new set o...
