Abstract: (Elsevier)
The most general higher derivative Yang-Mills actions of the type ( F 2 + α 2 F 4 ) which are globally supersymmetric up to order α 2 in six- and ten-dimensional spacetimes are given. The F 4 -terms turn out to occur in the combination α 2 [tr F 4 − 1 4 ( tr F 2 ) 2 ] , where the trace is over the Lorentz indices. This result sgrees with the low energy limit of the open superstrin g in ten dimensions, where α is the string tension. Surprisingly, the transformation rules of the Yang-Mills multiplet receive order α 2 corrections even in the off-shell formulation. For the case of abelian Yang-Mills group, the action is expressed in Born-Infeld form with a metric generically given by (1+ α 2 F 2 +).- GAUGE FIELD THEORY: YANG-MILLS
