Dirac-Born-Infeld-Volkov-Akulov and Deformation of Supersymmetry
Eric Bergshoeff, Frederik Coomans, Renata Kallosh +2
We deform the action and the supersymmetry transformations of the d=10 and d=4 Maxwell supermultiplets so that at each order of the deformation the theory has 16 Maxwell multiplet…
An off-shell formulation for internally gauged D=5, N=2 supergravity from superconformal methods
Frederik Coomans, Mehmet Ozkan
We use the superconformal method to construct a new formulation for pure off-shell D=5, N=2 Poincaré supergravity and present its internal gauging. The main difference between the…
Higher Derivative Extension of 6D Chiral Gauged Supergravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Frederik Coomans, Ergin Sezgin +1
Six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric gauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity is extended by the inclusion of a supersymmetric Riemann tensor squared invariant. Both the original model…
Symplectic gaugings and the field-antifield formalism
Frederik Coomans, Jan De Rydt, Antoine Van Proeyen
We give an example of how conventional gauging methods obstruct a systematic analysis of gauged supergravities. We discuss how the embedding tensor formalism deals with these probl…
Off-shell N=(1,0), D=6 supergravity from superconformal methods
Frederik Coomans, Antoine Van Proeyen
We use the superconformal method to construct the full off-shell action of N=(1,0), D=6 supergravity, which has apart from the graviton and the gravitino, a 2-form gauge field, a d…
Generalized gaugings and the field-antifield formalism
Frederik Coomans, Jan De Rydt, Antoine Van Proeyen
We discuss the algebra of general gauge theories that are described by the embedding tensor formalism. We compare the gauge transformations dependent and independent of an invarian…
