11D Supergravity as a Gauge Theory for the M-Algebra
The eleven-dimensional gravitational action invariant under local Poincaré transformations is given by the dimensional continuation of the Euler class of ten dimensions. Here we show that the supersymmetric extension of this action leads, through the Noether procedure, to a theory with the local symmetry group given by the M-algebra. The fields of the theory are the vielbein eμ, the Lorentz (sp...

متن کاملSupergravity and M-Theory†
Supergravity provides the effective field theories for string compactifications. The deformation of the maximal supergravities by non-abelian gauge interactions is only possible for a restricted class of charges. Generically these ‘gaugings’ involve a hierarchy of p-form fields which belong to specific representations of the duality group. The group-theoretical structure of this p-form hierarch...
متن کاملSupergravity, M theory and Cosmology
We discuss some recent attempts to reconcile cosmology with supergravity and M/string theory. First of all, we point out that in extended supergravities the scalar masses are quantized in terms of the cosmological constant in de Sitter vacua: the eigenvalues of the Casimir operator 3m/Λ take integer values. For the current value of the cosmological constant extended supergravities predict ultra...
متن کاملOff-shell dimensional reduction of 5D orbifold supergravity
We present a systematic way for deriving a four-dimensional (4D) effective action of the fivedimensional (5D) orbifold supergravity respecting the N = 1 off-shell structure. As an illustrating example, we derive a 4D effective theory of the 5D gauged supergravity with a universal hypermultiplet and generic gaugings, which includes the 5D heterotic M-theory and the supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum...
