Supersymmetric gauge anomalies in 2, 4, 6, and 10 dimensions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

By solving the consistency condition in Wess-Zumino gauge, we derive explicit expressions for chiral anomalies inN=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. In dimensions 2, 4, and 6 we present a unified formula for the on-shell anomalies, in 6 dimensions also the off-shell version and in 10 dimensions the complete on-shell result.
