Non-conformal supercurrents in six dimensions

Abstract

Non-conformal supercurrents in six dimensions are described, which contain the trace of the energy-momentum tensor and the gamma-trace of the supersymmetry current amongst their component fields. Within the superconformal approach to $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supergravity, we present various distinct non-conformal supercurrents, one of which is associated with an $\mathcal{O}(2)$ (or linear) multiplet compensator, while another with a tensor multiplet compensator. We also derive an infinite class of non-conformal supercurrents involving $\mathcal{O}(n)$ multiplets with $n>2$. As an illustrative example we construct the relaxed hypermultiplet in supergravity. Finally, we put forward a non-conformal supercurrent in the $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ supersymmetric case.
