Superconformal tensor calculus on an orbifold in 5D. (English) Zbl 1027.81521
Summary: Superconformal tensor calculus on an orbifold \(S^1/Z_2\) is given in five-dimensional (5D) spacetime. The four-dimensional superconformal Weyl multiplet and various matter multiplets are induced on the boundary planes from the 5D supermultiplets in the bulk. We identify those induced 4D supermultiplets and clarify a general method for coupling the bulk fields to the matter fields on the boundaries in a superconformal invariant manner.
