D=11 Supergravity Revisited
I discuss two novel results in D=11 Supergravity. The first establishes, in two complementary ways, a no-go theorem that, in contrast to all D<11, a cosmological extension of the theory does not exist. The second deals with the structure of (on-shell) four-point invariants. These are important both for establishing existence of the lowest (2-loop) order candidate counter-terms in the theory pro...
متن کاملUniqueness of D=11 Supergravity
We study the extent to which D=11 supergravity can be deformed and show in two very different ways that, unlike lower D versions, it forbids an extension with cosmological constant. Some speculations about other invariants are made, in connection with the possible counterterms of the theory.
متن کاملR 4 terms and d = 4 supergravity
We start by a concise yet thorough revision of four-dimensional super-space supergravity. We present curved superspace geometry, for arbitrary N , including torsion, curvature and Bianchi identities. We motivate the choice of torsion constraints. We then consider the particular cases of N = 1, 2. In both cases we show how Poincaré supergravity can be obtained from conformal supergravity. We see...
متن کاملCurved Membrane Solutions in D=11 Supergravity
We present a class of static membrane solutions, with non-flat worldvolume geometry, in the eleven dimensional supergravity with source terms. This class of solutions contains supersymmetric as well as a large class of non-supersymmetric configurations. We comment about near horizon limit and stability of these solutions and point out an interesting relation with certain two dimensional dilaton...
متن کاملOn Hidden Symmetries in d = 11 Supergravity and Beyond 1
This talk is about hidden symmetries in eleven dimensions, but it is equally a tribute to a scientist and friend, who is eminently visible in four space-time dimensions: François Englert, in whose honor this meeting is being held. Therefore, before entering dans le vif du sujet I would like to express my gratitude for having had the opportunity and privilege to learn from him and to work with h...
