Spin bound for massless supermultiplets

ID: spin-bound-for-massless-supermultiplets

In four-dimensional supersymmetry, a finite-helicity massless supermultiplet has helicity interval of width . If every state obeys , that interval fits inside one of width , giving . The bounds for and for are attained by the four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory vector multiplet and the four-dimensional N=8 supergravity supergravity multiplet. Spin bounds alone do not prove that an arbitrary action is renormalizable.
