A Superspace Approach to Branes and Supergravity*
Recent developments in string and M theory rely heavily on supersymmetry suggesting that a revival of superspace techniques in ten and eleven dimensions may be advantageous. Here we discuss three topics of current interest where superspace is already playing an important role and where an improved understanding of superspace might provide additional insight into the issues involved. *In Proceed...
متن کاملSuperspace formulations of ten–dimensional supergravity
We present a new formulation for N = 1, D = 10 supergravity in superspace, in presence of a Lorentz Chern–Simons–form. This formulation entails the following properties: it furnishes a solution of the Bianchi identities that is algebraically consistent to all orders in α; at first order it is the simplest formulation proposed so far, and it is therefore most suitable for an explicit higher orde...
متن کاملN=2 Central Charge Superspace and a Minimal Supergravity Multiplet
We extend the notion of central charge superspace to the case of local supersymmetry. Gauged central charge transformations are identified as diffeomorphisms at the same footing as space-time diffeomorphisms and local supersymmetry transformations. Given the general structure we then proceed to the description of a particular vector-tensor supergravity multiplet of 24 + 24 components, identifie...
متن کاملSupersymmetry, supergravity, superspace and BRST symmetry in a simple model
In these lectures we shall introduce rigid supersymmetry, supergravity (which is the gauge theory of supersymmetry) and superspace, and apply the results to BRST quantization. We assume that the reader has never studied these topics. For readers who want to read more about these “super” subjects, we give a few references at the end of this contribution, but the whole point of these lectures is ...
متن کاملA Clifford analysis approach to superspace
A new framework for studying superspace is given, based on methods from Clifford analysis. This leads to the introduction of both orthogonal and symplectic Clifford algebra generators, allowing for an easy and canonical introduction of a super-Dirac operator, a super-Laplace operator and the like. This framework is then used to define a super-Hodge coderivative, which, together with the exterio...
