The Maximal D=4 Supergravities
نویسنده
چکیده
All maximal supergravities in four space-time dimensions are presented. The ungauged Lagrangians can be encoded in an E7(7)\Sp(56;R)/GL(28) matrix associated with the freedom of performing electric/magnetic duality transformations. The gauging is defined in terms of an embedding tensor Θ which encodes the subgroup of E7(7) that is realized as a local invariance. This embedding tensor may imply the presence of magnetic charges which require corresponding dual gauge fields. The latter can be incorporated by using a recently proposed formulation that involves tensor gauge fields in the adjoint representation of E7(7). In this formulation the results take a universal form irrespective of the electric/magnetic duality basis. We present the general class of supersymmetric and gauge invariant Lagrangians and discuss a number of applications.

Vacua of Maximal Gauged D = 3 Supergravities
We analyze the scalar potentials of maximal gauged three-dimensional supergravities which reveal a surprisingly rich structure. In contrast to maximal supergravities in dimensions D ≥ 4, all these theories admit a maximally supersymmetric (N = 16) ground state with negative cosmological constant Λ < 0, except for the gauge group SO(4, 4)2, for which Λ = 0. We compute the mass spectra of bosonic...
متن کاملConsistent Warped - Space Kaluza - Klein Reductions , Half - Maximal Gauged Supergravities and CP n Constructions
We obtain new consistent Kaluza-Klein embeddings of the gauged supergravities with half of maximal supersymmetry in dimensions D = 7, 6, 5 and 4. They take the form of warped embeddings in type IIA, type IIB, M-theory and type IIB respectively, and are obtained by performing Kaluza-Klein circle reductions or T-duality transformations on Hopf fibres in S 3 submanifolds of the previously-known sp...
متن کاملHyperbolic billiards of pure D = 4 supergravities
We compute the billiards that emerge in the Belinskii-KhalatnikovLifshitz (BKL) limit for all pure supergravities in D = 4 spacetime dimensions, as well as for D = 4, N = 4 supergravities coupled to k (N = 4) Maxwell supermultiplets. We find that just as for the cases N = 0 and N = 8 investigated previously, these billiards can be identified with the fundamental Weyl chambers of hyperbolic KacM...
متن کاملN = 8 matter coupled AdS 3 supergravities
Following the recent construction of maximal (N = 16) gauged super-gravity in three dimensions, we derive gauged D = 3, N = 8 supergravities in three dimensions as deformations of the corresponding ungauged theories with scalar manifolds SO(8, n)/(SO(8) × SO(n)). As a special case, we recover the N = (4, 4) theories with local SO(4) = SO(3) L × SO(3) R , which reproduce the symmetries and massl...
متن کاملThe Domain Walls of Gauged Maximal Supergravities and their M-theory Origin
We consider gauged maximal supergravities with CSO(p, q, r) gauge groups and their relation to the branes of string and M-theory. The gauge groups are characterised by n mass parameters, where n is the transverse dimension of the brane. We give the scalar potentials and construct the corresponding domain wall solutions. In addition, we show the higher-dimensional origin of the domain walls in t...
