Self - Duality in Nonlinear Electromagnetism
We discuss duality invariant interactions between electromagnetic fields and matter. The case of scalar fields is treated in some detail. ∗Contribution to the memorial volume for D.V.

متن کاملConsistent nonlinear KK reduction of 11d supergravity on AdS7 × S4 and self-duality in odd dimensions
We show that there exists a consistent truncation of 11 dimensional supergravity to the ’massless’ fields of maximal (N=4) 7 dimensional gauged supergravity. We find the complete expressions for the nonlinear embedding of the 7 dimensional fields into the 11 dimensional fields, and check them by reproducing the d=7 susy transformation laws from the d=11 laws in various sectors. In particular we...
متن کاملSelf-Dual Supergravity from N = 2 Strings
A new heterotic N = 2 string with manifest target space supersymmetry is constructed by combining a conventional N = 2 string in the right-moving sector and a Green-SchwarzBerkovits type string in the left-moving sector. The corresponding sigma model is then obtained by turning on background fields for the massless excitations. We compute the beta functions and we partially check the OPE’s of t...
متن کاملDuality, Strings and Supergravity: a Status Report
We will report on recent advances in the understanding of non-perturbative interconnections between different string dualities. Weak-strong coupling duality (S-duality) and T-duality (symmetry under compactification on dual tori) allows one to compare and explore the strong coupling regime of seemingly unrelated theories. These theories naturally merge in a quantum version of supergravity calle...
متن کاملSupergravity, Brane Dynamics and String Duality ‡
In this review we show that a Clifford algebra possesses a unique irreducible representation ; the spinor representation. We discuss what types of spinors can exist in Minkowski space-times and we explain how to construct all the supersymmetry algebras that contain a given space-time Lie algebra. After deriving the irreducible representations of the superymmetry algebras, we explain how to use ...
