New Couplings of Six-Dimensional Supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We describe the couplings of six-dimensional supergravity, which contain a self-dual tensor multiplet, to nTn_T anti-self-dual tensor matter multiplets, nVn_V vector multiplets and nHn_H hypermultiplets. The scalar fields of the tensor multiplets form a coset SO(nT,1)/SO(nT)SO(n_T,1)/SO(n_T), while the scalars in the hypermultiplets form quaternionic K\"ahler symmetric spaces, the generic example being Sp(nH,1)/Sp(nH)Sp(1)Sp(n_H,1)/Sp(n_H)\otimes Sp(1). The gauging of the compact subgroup Sp(nH)×Sp(1)Sp(n_H) \times Sp(1) is also described. These results generalize previous ones in the literature on matter couplings of N=1N=1 supergravity in six dimensions.
