Gauge and Non-Gauge Tensor Multiplets in 5D Conformal Supergravity

An off-shell formulation of two distinct tensor multiplets, a massive tensor multiplet and a tensor gauge multiplet, is presented in superconformal tensor calculus in five-dimensional space-time. Both contain a rank 2 antisymmetric tensor field, but there is no gauge symmetry in the former, while it...

Zusammenfassung:An off-shell formulation of two distinct tensor multiplets, a massive tensor multiplet and a tensor gauge multiplet, is presented in superconformal tensor calculus in five-dimensional space-time. Both contain a rank 2 antisymmetric tensor field, but there is no gauge symmetry in the former, while it is a gauge field in the latter. Both multiplets have 4 bosonic and 4 fermionic on-shell modes, but the former consists of 16 (boson)+16 (fermion) component fields, while the latter consists of 8 (boson)+8 (fermion) component fields.
