Description

A five-dimensional approach to six-dimensional tensor theories is discussed, which makes use of towers of massive five-dimensional tensors in a Kaluza-Klein inspired fashion. The relation to Chern-Simons theories in five dimensions is considered at the quantum level. A five-dimensional supersymmetric Lagrangian with tensor towers is proposed to furnish a description of non-Abelian (2,0) theories.
