Supersymmetric action for 6D $(4,0)$ supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-09-14 v2

Abstract

We give a linearized but otherwise complete supersymmetric action for N=(4,0){\cal N}=(4,0) supergravity in six dimensions, using a Kaluza-Klein-type 5+15+1 split of coordinates and fields. We provide in particular a significantly simplified version of the bosonic action derived by us recently. This formulation employs fields that are no longer irreducible, subject to a local Lorentz invariance, which in turn simplifies the supersymmetry transformations including the exotic gravitino.
