Abstract
We consider the off-shell formulation of the 5D, \( \mathcal{N}=1 \) super Yang-Mills and super Chern-Simons theories in harmonic superspace. Using such a formulation we develop a manifestly supersymmetric and gauge invariant approach to constructing the one-loop effective action both in super Yang-Mills and super Chern-Simons models. On the base of this approach we compute the leading low-energy quantum contribution to the effective action on the Abelian vector multiplet background. This contribution corresponds to the ‘F 4’ invariant which is given in 5D superfield form.
