The anomalous current multiplet in 6D minimal supersymmetry

Understand

For supersymmetric gauge theories with eight supercharges in four, five and six dimensions, a conserved current belongs to the linear multiplet.

• In the case of six-dimensional $\cal N=(1,0)$ Poincar\'e supersymmetry, we present a consistent deformation of the linear multiplet which describes chiral anomalies.
• This is achieved by developing a superform formulation for the deformed linear multiplet.
• In the abelian case, we compute a nonlocal effective action generating the gauge anomaly.
