Abstract

We construct the complete coupling of (1,0)(1,0) supergravity in six dimensions to nn tensor multiplets, extending previous results to all orders in the fermi fields. We then add couplings to vector multiplets, as dictated by the generalized Green-Schwarz mechanism. The resulting theory embodies factorized gauge and supersymmetry anomalies, to be disposed of by fermion loops, and is determined by corresponding Wess-Zumino consistency conditions, aside from a quartic coupling for the gaugini. The supersymmetry algebra contains a corresponding extension that plays a crucial role for the consistency of the construction. We leave aside gravitational and mixed anomalies, that would only contribute to higher-derivative couplings.
