Abstract

We construct N=2{\cal N}=2 supersymmetric low-energy effective action of 5D,N=25D, {\cal N}=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 5D,N=15D, {\cal N}=1 harmonic superspace. It is obtained as a hypermultiplet completion of the leading WlnWW \ln W-term in the N=1{\cal N}=1 SYM low-energy effective action by invoking the second implicit on-shell N=1{\cal N}=1 supersymmetry. After passing to components, the N=2{\cal N}=2 effective action constructed displays, along with other terms, the SO(5)SO(5)-invariant F4/X3F^4/X^3 term. Though we specialize to the case of SU(2)SU(2) gauge group spontaneously broken to U(1)U(1), our consideration is applicable to any gauge symmetry broken to some abelian subgroup.
