Superconformal Actions in Killing Gauge
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical superconformal actions of branes in adS superspaces have a closed form depending on a matrix M quadratic in fermions, as found in hep-th/9805217. One can gauge-fix the local κ-symmetry using the Killing spinors of the brane in the bulk. We show that in such gauges the superconformal actions are simplified dramatically since M = 0 in all cases. The relation between classical and gauge-fixed actions for these theories reflects the relation between the full superconformal algebra and its supersolvable subalgebra.

Branes in Super–ads Backgrounds and Superconformal Theories
We demonstrate how actions for interacting superconformal field theories in (p+1)-dimensions arise as a result of gauge fixing worldvolume diffeomorphisms and fermionic κ-symmetry in actions for super-p-branes propagating in superbackgrounds of AdSp+2×S geometry. The method of nonlinear realizations and coset spaces is used for getting an explicit form of supervielbeins and superconnections of ...
متن کاملLinearly-realised Worldsheet Supersymmetry in pp-wave Backgrounds
We study the linearly-realised worldsheet supersymmetries in the “massive” type II lightcone actions for pp-wave backgrounds. The pp-waves have have 16 +Nsup Killing spinors, comprising 16 “standard” Killing spinors that occur in any wave background, plus Nsup “supernumerary” Killing spinors (0 ≤ Nsup ≤ 16) that occur only for special backgrounds. We show that only the supernumerary Killing spi...
متن کاملBiharmonic Superspace for N=4 Mechanics
We develop a new superfield approach to N=4 supersymmetric mechanics based on the concept of biharmonic superspace (bi-HSS). It is an extension of the N=4, d=1 superspace by two sets of harmonic variables associated with the two SU(2) factors of the R-symmetry group SO(4) of the N=4, d=1 super Poincaré algebra. There are three analytic subspaces in it: two of the Grassmann dimension 2 and one o...
متن کامل[ensl-00459749, v1] Superconformal Sigma Models in Three Dimensions
We construct superconformal gauged sigma models with extended rigid supersymmetry in three dimensions. Those with N > 4 have necessarily flat targets, but the models with N ≤ 4 admit non-flat targets, which are cones with appropriate Sasakian base manifolds. Superconformal symmetry also requires that the three dimensional spacetimes admit conformal Killing spinors which we examine in detail. We...
متن کاملSuperconformal Gauge Theories and Non-Critical Superstrings
We consider effective actions for six-dimensional non-critical superstrings. We show that the addition of N units of R-R flux and of Nf space-time filling D5branes produces AdS5 × S1 solutions with curvature comparable to the string scale. These solutions have the right structure to be dual to N = 1 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories with Nf flavors. We further suggest bounds on the mass-squar...
