Non-conformal supercurrents in six dimensions

Abstract

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 N=1,0 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(1,\ 0\right) $$ supergravity, we present various distinct non-conformal supercurrents, one of which is associated with an O2 $$ \mathcal{O}(2) $$ (or linear) multiplet compensator, while another with a tensor multiplet compensator. We also derive an infinite class of non-conformal supercurrents involving On $$ \mathcal{O}(n) $$ 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 N=20 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(2,0\right) $$ supersymmetric case.
