New N = 4 Superfields and Σ-models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note, we construct new representations of D = 2, N = 4 supersymmetry which do not involve chiral or twisted chiral multiplets. These multiplets may make it possible to circumvent no-go theorems about N = 4 superspace formulations of WZWN-models.

Why Auxiliary Fields Matter : The Strange Case of the 4 D , N = 1 Supersymmetric QCD Effective Action
Within a four dimensional manifestly N = 1 supersymmetric action, we show that Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) terms can be embedded in an extraordinarily simple manner into a purely chiral superaction. In order to achieve this result it is necessary to assign spin-0 and spin-1/2 degrees of freedom both to chiral superfields and as well to non-minimal scalar multiplets. We propose a new formu...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Supersymmetric Σ-models
We review non-linear σ-models with (2,1) and (2,2) supersymmetry. We focus on off-shell closure of the supersymmetry algebra and give a complete list of (2, 2) superfields. We provide evidence to support the conjecture that all N = (2, 2) non-linear σ-models can be described by these fields. This in its turn leads to interesting consequences about the geometry of the target manifolds. One immed...
متن کاملSolvable Models in Two-dimensional N=2 Theories
N=2 supersymmetric field theories in two dimensions have been extensively studied in the last few years. Many of their properties can be determined along the whole renormalization group flow, like their coupling dependence and soliton spectra. We discuss here several models which can be solved completely, when the number of superfields is taken to be large, by studying their topological-antitop...
متن کاملOn Aspects and Implications of the New Covariant 4 D , N = 1 Green - Schwarz σ - model Action
Utilizing (2,0) superfields, we write a (supersymmetry) 2 action and partially relate it to the new formulation of the Green-Schwarz action given by Berkovits and Siegel. Recent results derived from this new formulation are discussed within the context of some prior proposals in the literature. Among these, we note that 4D, N = 1 βFFC superspace geometry with a composite connection for R-symmet...
متن کاملSymplectic sigma models in superspace
We discuss a special “symplectic” class of N = 4 supersymmetric sigma models in (0 + 1) dimension with 5r bosonic and 4r complex fermionic degrees of freedom. These models can be described off shell by N = 2 superfields (so that only half of supersymmetries are manifest) and also by N = 4 superfields in the framework of the harmonic superspace approach. Using the latter, we derive the general f...
