The anomaly field theories of six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal theories (1706.01903v2)
Published 6 Jun 2017 in hep-th, math-ph, and math.MP
Abstract: We construct 7-dimensional quantum field theories encoding the anomalies of conformal field theories with (2,0) supersymmetry in six dimensions. We explain how the conformal blocks of the (2,0) theories arise in this context. A result of independent interest is a detailed specification of the data required to define a (2,0) theory with topologically non-trivial spacetime and R-symmetry bundle.
