Higher derivative couplings with multi-tensor multiplets in 6D supergravity, action and anomalies

Abstract

We revisit six-dimensional (1,0) supergravity coupled to nT tensor multiplets and Yang-Mills fields for nT>1 for which no covariant action exists. We construct the action in the Henneaux-Teitelboim approach and in the presence of a gauge anomaly. We moreover obtain the supersymmetric Green-Schwarz counterterm for the gravitational anomaly for arbitrary matter content.
