Superfield actions forN=4 and 8 degenerate central-charge multiplets

Суперполевые действия для вырожденных центральных заряженных мультиплетов суперсимметрии сN=4 е 8

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We evaluate the component contributions in the superfield action for degenerate central-charge multiplets ofN=4 and 8 supersymmetry. Some of the formulae are checked by the aid of the algebraic manipulation programme STENSOR. The final result is that the action for eachN is a higher-order total derivative in the central-charge directions. The resulting relation between the particle spectrum and the region of integration in the central-charge directions is described.

Riassunto

Si valutano i contributi delle componenti nell’azione del supercampo per multipletti degenerati a carica centrale della supersimmetriaN=4 e 8. Si controllano alcune delle formule con l’aiuto del programma di manipolazione algebrica STENSOR. Il risultato è che l’azione per ogniN è la derivata totale di ordine superiore nelle direzioni della carica centrale. Si descrive la relazione risultante tra lo spettro delle particelle e la regione d’integrazione nelle direzioni della carica centrale.

Резюме

Мы вычисляем вклады компонент в суперполевые действия для вырожденных центральных заряженных мультиплетов суперсимметрии сN=4 и 8. Некоторые формулы проверяются с помощью алгебраической программы STENSOR. Полученное действие для кажногоN представляет полную производную высшего порядка в центральных заряженных областях. Описывается полученное соотношение между спектром частиц и областью интегрирования в центральных заряженных областях.
