One-loop divergences in the six-dimensional $\cal{N}=(1,0)$ hypermultiplet self-coupling model

Abstract

We study the six-dimensional $\cal{N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetric hypermultiplet model with arbitrary self-coupling. The model is considered in the external classical gauge superfield background. Using the harmonic superspace formulation we study the one-loop effective action of the model. We calculate the one-loop divergences in the theory as a gauge-invariant function of the external gauge multiplet. We demonstrate that the one-loop divergences in the theory do not vanish even in the case of on-shell hypermultiplet background. We briefly discuss an application of the developed technique to the hypermultiplet model in four dimensions.
