Supersymmetrizing the Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin action

Abstract

In this paper the harmonic superspace action of the tensor multiplet of $N=(1,0)$, $d=6$ supersymmetry is constructed which in the bosonic limit reduces to the known Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin action for the self-dual tensor field. The action involves, besides the potential containing the dynamical fields, also an auxiliary tensor multiplet and a set of analytic superfields with gauge PST scalar among them. For each of gauge symmetries of the PST action, a superfield analog is found. The equations of motion are calculated and it is shown in the bosonic limit that no extra degrees of freedom appear.
