Coupling a Self-Dual Tensor to Gravity in Six Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

A recent result concerning interacting theories of self-dual tensor gauge fields in six dimensions is generalized to include coupling to gravity. The formalism makes five of the six general coordinate invariances manifest, whereas the sixth one requires a non-trivial analysis. The result should be helpful in formulating the world-volume action of the M theory five-brane.
