Progress on Ultraviolet Finiteness of Supergravity
In this lecture we summarize recent calculations pointing to the possible ultraviolet finiteness of N = 8 supergravity in four dimensions. We outline the modern unitarity method, which enables multiloop calculations in this theory and allows us to exploit a remarkable relation between tree-level gravity and gauge-theory amplitudes. We also describe a link between observed cancellations at loop ...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Allergen Immunotherapy
The efficacy of allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without seasonal bronchial asthma and anaphylaxis caused by the sting of the hymenoptera class of insects has been clearly demonstrated in numerous well-designed, placebo-controlled trials. Immunotherapy whether by subcutaneous injection of allergen extract or by oral/sublingual routes modifies peri...
متن کاملSupergravity in Five Dimensions
We study compactification of five dimensional ungauged N = 2 supergravity coupled to vectorand hypermultiplets on orbifold S/Z2. In the model, the vector multiplets scalar manifold is arbitrary while the hypermultiplet scalars span a generalized self dual Einstein manifold constructed by Calderbank and Pedersen. The bosonic and the fermionic sectors of the low energy effective N = 1 supergravit...
متن کاملBrane Transmutation in Supergravity
We study a family of BPS solutions of type IIA supergravity that can be interpreted as describing the ‘transmutation’ of a Neveu-Schwarz five-brane into a D4-brane in the presence of a D6-brane. The D4-brane, which terminates on the D6-brane, can be equally well interpreted as a ‘pure multipole’ configuration of NS5-brane wrapped tightly around the D6-brane. Such a transmutation is a “near-core...
متن کاملBlack Holes in Supergravity
A brief review is given of the use of duality symmetries to form orbits of supergravity black-hole solutions and their relation to extremal (i.e. BPS) solutions at the limits of such orbits. An important technique in this analysis uses a timelike dimensional reduction and exchanges the stationary black-hole problem for a nonlinear sigma-model problem. Families of BPS solutions are characterized...
