Noncovariant Gauges in Simple Supergravity
A gauge-averaging functional of the axial type is studied for simple supergravity at one loop about flat Euclidean four-space bounded by a three-sphere, or two concentric three-spheres. This is a generalization of recent work on the axial gauge in quantum supergravity on manifolds with boundary. Ghost modes obey nonlocal boundary conditions of the spectral type, in that half of them obey Dirich...
متن کاملNoncovariant Local Symmetry in Abelian Gauge Theories
We find noncovariant local symmetries in the Abelian gauge theories. The Nöther charges generating these symmetries are nilpotent as BRST charges, and they impose new constraints on the physical states. PACS numbers: 11.15.-q, 11.30.-j, 12.20.-m Typeset using REVTEX 1
متن کاملExtended Symmetries in Supergravity: the Semi-simple Case
The bosonic sector of various supergravity theories reduces to a homogeneous space G/H in three dimensions. The corresponding algebras g are simple for (half-)maximal supergravity, but can be semi-simple for other theories. We extend the existing literature on the Kac–Moody extensions of simple Lie algebras to the semi-simple case. Furthermore, we argue that for N = 2 supergravity the simple al...
متن کاملOne-loop divergences in simple supergravity: Boundary effects.
This paper studies the semiclassical approximation of simple supergravity in Riemannian four-manifolds with boundary, within the framework of ζfunction regularization. The massless nature of gravitinos, jointly with the presence of a boundary and a local description in terms of potentials for spin 3 2 , force the background to be totally flat. First, nonlocal boundary conditions of the spectral...
متن کاملA simple approach to counterterms in N=8 supergravity
We present a simple systematic method to study candidate counterterms in N = 8 supergravity. Complicated details of the counterterm operators are avoided because we work with the on-shell matrix elements they produce. All n-point matrix elements of an independent SUSY invariant operator of the form DR + . . . must be local and satisfy SUSY Ward identities. These are strong constraints, and we t...
