Maximal super Yang-Mills theories on curved background with off-shell supercharges
Abstract
We construct d ≤ 7 dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on a class of curved backgrounds with off-shell supercharges. The off-shell supersymmetry is mainly a generalization of on-shell supersymmetry previously constructed by Blau. We present several examples of backgrounds and discuss the number of the preserved supersymmetries on these backgrounds. We also construct another maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on S 3 obtained by dimensional reduction along mathbb{R} -direction of mathcal{N} =4 superYang-Millstheoryon mathbb{R} × S 3.
