New Couplings of Six-Dimensional Supergravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the couplings of six-dimensional supergravity, which contain a self-dual tensor multiplet, to n T anti-self-dual tensor matter multiplets, n V vector multiplets and n H hypermultiplets. The scalar fields of the tensor multiplets form a coset SO(nT , 1)/SO(nT ), while the scalars in the hypermultiplets form quaternionic Kähler symmetric spaces, the generic example being Sp(nH , 1)/Sp(nH )⊗Sp(1). The gauging of the compact subgroup Sp(nH) × Sp(1) is also described. These results generalize previous ones in the literature on matter couplings of N = 1 supergravity in six

N = 1, D = 6 Supergravity: Duality and non Minimal Couplings.
Six-dimensional supergravity theories and their duality properties play a central role in the context of string duality and string compactifications. Lowering dimensions leads usually to an increasing complexity of theories; with this respect six dimensions seem to constitute an appropriate compromise between the physical four and the presumably more fundamental ten or eleven dimensions. In thi...
متن کاملAnomaly Cancellation in Seven-Dimensional Supergravity with a Boundary
We construct a seven-dimensional brane world in a slice of AdS7, where the boundary matter content is fixed by the cancellation of anomalies. The seven-dimensional minimal N = 2 gauged supergravity is compactified on the orbifold S/Z2, and the supersymmetric bulk-boundary Lagrangian is consistently derived for boundary vector and hypermultipets up to fermionic bilinear terms. Anomaly cancellati...
متن کاملAnomaly-free brane worlds in seven dimensions.
We present an orbifold compactification of the minimal seven-dimensional supergravity. The vacuum is a slice of seven-dimensional anti-de Sitter space where six-branes of opposite tension are located at the orbifold fixed points. The cancellation of gauge and gravitational anomalies restricts the gauge group and matter content on the boundaries. In addition, anomaly cancellation fixes the bound...
متن کاملSome cubic couplings in type IIB supergravity on AdS5ÃS 5 and three-point functions in four-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory at large N
All cubic couplings in type IIB supergravity on AdS53S 5 that involve two scalar fields s that are mixtures of the five form field strength on S and the trace of the graviton on S are derived by using the covariant equations of motion and the quadratic action for type IIB supergravity on AdS53S . All corresponding three-point functions in SYM4 are calculated in the supergravity approximation. I...
متن کاملMassive Type IIA Theory on K 3 1
In this paper we study K3 compactification of ten-dimensional massive type IIA theory with all possible Ramond-Ramond background fluxes turned on. The resulting six-dimensional theory is a new massive (gauged) supergravity with an action that is manifestly invariant under an O(4, 20)/O(4) × O(20) duality symmetry. We discover that this six-dimensional theory interpolates between vacua of ten-di...
