- Description
- In D=6 the gauge superfield V has a higher gauge freedom than in D=4. In the Wess-Zumino gauge there are no term with less than two Grassmann variables of each type. We find all its tensor components and compute also the chiral superfield strength which contains the linearized curvature tensor of a "graviton" field, as well as the field intensities of a "gravitino", a "photon", a "photino", and a tri-vector whose field strength is a second rank antisymmetric tensor. The gauge invariant interaction with a chiral field is given and expressed as a function of the components.
