Superconformal Actions in Killing Gauge

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The classical superconformal actions of branes in adS superspaces have a closed form depending on a matrix M2M^2 quadratic in fermions, as found in hep-th/9805217. One can gauge-fix the local κ\kappa-symmetry using the Killing spinors of the brane in the bulk. We show that in such gauges the superconformal actions are simplified dramatically since M2=0M^2=0 in all cases. The relation between classical and gauge-fixed actions for these theories reflects the relation between the full superconformal algebra and its supersolvable subalgebra.
