Supersymmetric Lagrangians

چکیده
Let’s recall some notions from classical Lagrangian field theory. Let M be an oriented supermanifold: our spacetime, of dimension n|d. For our purposes, we will most often think about the case where M is either Minkowski space M̌ = R1,n−1, or Super Minkowski space M = M̌ ×ΠS where S is a representation of Spin(1, n− 1). Definition 1.1. Let E → M be a smooth (super) fibre bundle. The associated space of fields is the space of smooth sections φM → E. A Lagrangian density on F is a function L : F → Dens(M) – where Dens(M) denotes the bundle of densities on M – that satisfies a locality condition.

Quantum Equivalence of Auxiliary Field Methods in Supersymmetric Theories
Quantum corrections to Legendre transformations are shown to cancel to all orders in supersymmetric theories in path integral formalism. Using this result, lagrangians for auxiliary fields are generalized to non-quadratic forms. In supersymmetric effective nonlinear lagrangians, the arbitrariness due to the existence of quasi Nambu-Goldstone bosons is shown to disappear when local auxiliary gau...
متن کاملLandau-Ginzburg Lagrangians of minimal W -models with an integrable perturbation
We construct Landau-Ginzburg Lagrangians for minimal bosonic (N = 0)W models perturbed with the least relevant field, inspired by the theory ofN = 2 supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg Lagrangians. They agree with the Lagrangians for unperturbed models previously found with Zamolodchikov’s method. We briefly study their properties, e.g. the perturbation algebra and the soliton structure. We conclude...
متن کامل(Supersymmetric) Kac-Moody Gauge Fields in 3+1 Dimensions
Lagrangians for gauge fields and matter fields can be constructed from the infinite dimensional Kac-Moody algebra and group. A continuum regularization is used to obtain such generic lagrangians, which contain new nonlinear and asymmetric interactions not present in gauge theories based on compact Lie groups. This technique is applied to deriving the Yang-Mills and Chern-Simons lagrangians for ...
متن کاملEffective Lagrangians for Orientifold Theories
We construct effective Lagrangians of the Veneziano-Yankielowicz (VY) type for two non-supersymmetric theories which are orientifold daughters of supersymmetric gluodynamics (containing one Dirac fermion in the two-index antisymmetric or symmetric representation of the gauge group). Since the parent and daughter theories are planar equivalent, at N → ∞ the effective Lagrangians in the orientifo...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Sigma Models*
We begin to construct the most general supersymmetric Lagrangians in one, two and four dimensions. We find that the matter couplings have a natural interpretation in the language of the nonlinear sigma model.
متن کاملCovariant actions for chiral supersymmetric bosons 1
We review a recently developed covariant Lagrangian formulation for p–forms with (anti)self– dual field–strengths and present its extension to the supersymmetric case. As explicit examples we construct covariant Lagrangians for six–dimensional models with N = 1 rigid and curved supersymmetry.
