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 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 کاملNew Canonical Variables for d = 11 Supergravity
A set of new canonical variables for d = 11 supergravity is proposed which renders the supersymmetry variations and the supersymmetry constraint polynomial. The construction is based on the SO(1, 2) × SO(16) invariant reformulation of d = 11 supergravity given in [4], and has some similarities with Ashtekar’s reformulation of Einstein’s theory. The new bosonic variables fuse the gravitational d...
متن کاملGeneralized E 7(7) coset dynamics and D = 11 supergravity
The hidden on-shell E7(7) symmetry of maximal supergravity is usually discussed in a truncation from D = 11 to four dimensions. In this article, we reverse the logic and start from a theory with manifest off-shell E7(7) symmetry inspired by West’s coset construction. Following de Wit’s and Nicolai’s idea that a 4 + 56 dimensional “exceptional geometry” underlies maximal supergravity, we constru...
