Anomaly cancellation and one-loop finiteness of 6D half-maximal supergravities

  • Renata Kallosh

摘要

We suggest that the surprising one-loop finiteness of 6D half-maximal supergravities recently discovered in [1] might be related to anomaly-free SO(5, 21) G-duality symmetry in (2, 0) supergravity with 21 tensor multiplets and to anomaly-free SO(4, 20) G-duality symmetry of (1, 1) supergravity with 20 vector multiplets. Our argument is reminiscent of the analogous role of the anomaly-free E7(7) G-duality symmetry in the UV finiteness of a maximal 4D supergravity at 3 loops.
