The spectrum of the S ⁵ compactification of the chiral N=2, D=10 supergravity and the unitary supermultiplets of U(2,2/4)

Abstract

Abstract. We calculate the spectrum of the S5 compactification of the chiral N = 2, D = 10 supergravity theory. The modes on S5 fall into unitary irreducible representations of the D = 5, N = 8 anti-de Sitter supergroup U(2,2/4). These unitary supermultiplets involve fields of spin s 2 with quantised 'mass' eigenvalues. The massless multiplet contains fifteen vector fields, six self-dual and six anti-self-dual anti-symmetric tensor fields. The fields of the massless multiplet are expected to be those of a gauged N = 8 theory in D = 5 with a local gauge group SU(4).Recently there has been a surge of interest in Kaluza-Klein type theories in the context of supergravity. The main object of study so far has been the eleven-dimensional simple supergravity of Cremmer er a1 [ 11 and various compactifications of this theory down to four dimensions have been studied. A compactification is called spontaneous if, for example, the eleven-dimensional theory admits a vacuum solution leading to a four-dimensional spacetime M4 and a seven-dimensional compact internal manifold M , parametrised by the extra seven coordinates. Then from a four-dimensional point of view the spectrum of the theory consists of massless modes and an infinite tower of massive modes at the Planck scale corresponding to the Fourier expansion on M,.In this letter we shall study the spectrum of the chiral N = 2, D = 10 supergravity theory [2] compactified on S5 down to five spacetime dimensions. This theory cannot be obtained from the eleven-dimensional supergravity by dimensional reduction in contrast to the non-chiral N = 2, D = 10 theory which can be. The non-chiral and chiral N = 2 supergravity theories can be regarded as the massless sector of type IIa and type IIb superstring theories in D = 1011. Both ofthese theories when dimensionally reduced to D = 4 give the N = 8 theory.The fields of the chiral N = 2, D = 10 supergravity are: a complex scalar cp, a complex Weyl spinor A, a complex anti-symmetric second rank tensor A,,, a complex Weyl gravitino (cIw, a real graviton ('zehnbein') e; and a real fourth-rank anti-symmetric tensor APupA. The field strength FpvpAm of the field A,,,, is self-dual in the free theory. The complex scalar field cp parametrises the non-compact coset space SU( 1, l)/U( 1)[4]. The covariant field equations of chiral N = 2, D = 10 supergravity were obtained t

The complete one-loop dilatation operator of super-Yang–Mills theory

“…In this section we will show how to represent a generic operator of N = 4 SYM in terms of excitations of (different) oscillators, see also [34]. We will then describe the action of the Hamiltonian on these states explicitly.…”

“…The short representations of P SU (2, 2|4) were constructed by the oscillator method in [26]. The full short representation is labeled by an integer p > 0 and consists of a number of particular representations of the bosonic SU (2, 2) × SU (4) R subgroup.…”

Spectrum of LargeNGauge Theory from Supergravity

“…The compactification of the supergravity on S 5 creates a tower of massive particles on AdS 5 , and their spectrum is classified in [8,9]. Curiously they found that all the eigenvalues of H are integers, including excitations on AdS 5 .…”
