IFT-P.055/97 Construction of R 4 Terms in N=2 D=8 Superspace
نویسنده
چکیده
Using linearized superfields, R 4 terms in the Type II superstring effective action com-pactified on T 2 are constructed as integrals in N=2 D=8 superspace. The structure of these superspace integrals allows a simple proof of the R 4 non-renormalization theorems

IFT-P.007/97 Conformal Compensators and Manifest Type IIB S-Duality
Using the conformal compensator superfields of N=2 D=4 supergravity, the Type IIB S-duality transformations are expressed as a linear rotation which mixes the compensator and matter superfields. The classical superspace action for D = 4 compactifications of Type IIB supergravity is manifestly invariant under this transformation. Furthermore, the introduction of conformal compensators allows a F...
متن کاملIntegral invariants in N = 4 SYM and the effective action for coincident D - branes
The construction of supersymmetric invariant integrals is discussed in a superspace setting. The formalism is applied to D = 4, N = 4 SYM and used to construct the F 2 , F 4 and (F 5 + ∂ 2 F 4) terms in the effective action of coincident D-branes. The results are in agreement with those obtained by other methods. A simple derivation of the abelian ∂ 4 F 4 invariant is given and generalised to t...
متن کاملExplicit N = 2 supersymmetry for higher - spin massless fields in D = 4 AdS superspace
We develop two N = 2 superfield formulations of free equations of motion for the joint model of all D = 4 massless higher-superspin fields in generating form. The explicit Osp(2|4) supersymmetry is achieved without exploiting the harmonic superspace, and with adding no auxiliary component fields to those of N = 1 superfields. The formulations are developed in two different Osp(2|4) homogeneous ...
متن کاملIN SU ( 2 ) xSU ( 2 ) HARMONIC SUPERSPACE
The N =8 , 1D analytic bi-harmonic superspace is shown to provide a natural setting for N =8 supersymmetric mechanics associated with the off-shell multiplet (4, 8, 4). The latter is described by an analytic superfield q 1,1 , and we construct the general superfield and component actions for any number of such multiplets. The set of transformations preserving the flat superspace constraints on ...
متن کاملOn the Seiberg - Witten map of N = 2 SYM theory in Non ( anti ) commutative Harmonic Superspace
We consider N = 2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory in a nonanticommutative N = 2 harmonic superspace with the singlet deformation. We generalize analytic superfield and gauge parameter to the nonanticommutative theory so that gauge transformations act on the component fields in a canonical form (Seiberg-Witten map). This superfield, upon a field redefinition transforms under supersymmetry in a ...
