Аннотация:We study the gauge dependence of one-loop divergences in a general matter-coupled $6D$ $\cN=(1,0)$ supersymmetric gauge theory in the harmonic superspace formulation. Our analysis is based on the effective action constructed by the background superfield method, with the gauge-fixing term involving one real parameter $\xi_0$. A manifestly gauge invariant and $\cN=(1,0)$ supersymmetric procedure
for calculating the one-loop effective action is developed. It yields the one-loop divergences in an explicit form and allows one to investigate their gauge dependence. As compared to the minimal gauge, $\xi_0=1$, the divergent part of the general-gauge effective action contains a new term depending on $\xi_0\,$. This term vanishes for the background superfields satisfying the classical equations of motion, so that the $S$-matrix divergences are gauge-independent. In the case of $6D$, $\cN= (1,1)$ SYM theory we demonstrate that some divergent contributions in the non-minimal gauges do not vanish off shell, as opposed to the minimal gauge.
