Higher derivative terms, toroidal compactification, and Weyl anomalies in six-dimensional (2, 0) theories
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2283440
Abstract: We systematically analyze the effective action on the moduli space of (2,0) superconformal field theories in six dimensions, as well as their toroidal compactification to maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in five and four dimensions. We present a streamlined approach to non-renormalization theorems that constrain this effective action. The first several orders in its derivative expansion are determined by a one-loop calculation in five-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This fixes the leading higher-derivative operators that describe the renormalization group flow into theories residing at singular points on the moduli space of the compactified (2,0) theories. This understanding allows us to compute the a-type Weyl anomaly for all (2,0) superconformal theories. We show that it decreases along every renormalization group flow that preserves (2,0) supersymmetry, thereby establishing the a-theorem for this class of theories. Along the way, we encounter various field-theoretic arguments for the ADE classification of (2,0) theories.
