A proposal for the non-Abelian tensor multiplet

Abstract

If one compactifies the Abelian $(1,0)$ tensor multiplet on a circle, one finds 5d SYM for the zero modes. For the Kaluza-Klein modes one can likewise find a Lagrangian description in 5d \cite{Bonetti:2012st}. Since in 5d we have an ordinary YM gauge potential, one may look for a non-Abelian generalization and indeed such a non-Abelian generalization was found in \cite{Bonetti:2012st}. In this paper, we study this non-Abelian generalization for the $(1,0)$ tensor multiplet in detail. We obtain the supersymmetry variations that we close on-shell. This way we get the fermionic equation of motion and a modified selfduality constraint.
