N=1 Non-Abelian Tensor Multiplet in Four Dimensions

Abstract

We carry out the N=1 supersymmetrization of a physical non-Abelian tensor with non-trivial consistent couplings in four dimensions. Our system has three multiplets: (i) The usual non-Abelian vector multiplet (VM) (A_μ^I, λ^I), (ii) A non-Abelian tensor multiplet (TM) (B_{μν}{}^I, χ^I, φ^I), and (iii) A compensator vector multiplet (CVM) (C_μ^I, ρ^I). All of these multiplets are in the adjoint representation of a non-Abelian group G. Unlike topological theory, all of our fields are propagating with kinetic terms. The C_μ^I-field plays the role of a Stueckelberg compensator absorbed into the longitudinal component of B_{μν}{}^I. We give not only the component lagrangian, but also a corresponding superspace reformulation, reconfirming the total consistency of the system. The adjoint representation of the TM and CVM is further generalized to an arbitrary real representation of general SO(N) gauge group. We also couple the globally N=1 supersymmetric system to supergravity, as an additional non-trivial confirmation.
