Chiral gauge theory and gravity from unconventional supersymmetry

Alvarez, Pedro D.; Valenzuela, Mauricio; Zanelli, Jorge

Abstract

From a gauge SU(2, 2|2) model with broken supersymmetry, we construct an action for SU(2) × U(1) Yang-Mills theory coupled to gravity and matter. The connection components for AdS boosts and special conformal translations are auxiliary fields and their fixing reduces the theory to two distinctive sectors: a vector-like gauge theory with general relativity and a chiral gauge theory where gravity drops out. We discuss some of the main classical features of the model such as the predicted tree level gauge couplings, cosmological constant value, mass-like terms and the Einstein equations.
