OSp(5|4) Superconformal Symmetry of N=5 Chern-Simons Theory    [PDF]

Fa-Min Chen

We demonstrate that the general D=3, N=5 Chern-Simons matter theory processes a full OSp(5|4) superconformal symmetry, and construct the corresponding superconformal currents. The closure of the superconformal algebra is verified in detail. We also show that the conserved OSp(6|4) superconformal currents in the general N=6 theory can be obtained as special cases of the OSp(5|4) currents by enhancing the R-symmetry of the N=5 theory from USp(4) to SU(4).
