M-theory and Gauged Supergravities
We present a pedagogical discussion of the emergence of gauged supergravities from Mtheory. First, a review of maximal supergravity and its global symmetries and supersymmetric solutions is given. Next, different procedures of dimensional reduction are explained: reductions over a torus, a group manifold and a coset manifold and reductions with a twist. Emphasis is placed on the consistency of ...
متن کاملVacua of M-theory and String Theory
We argue that supersymmetric higher-dimension operators in the effective actions of M-theory and IIB string theory do not affect the maximally supersymmetric vacua: adS4 × S 7 and adS7 × S 4 in Mtheory and adS5 × S 5 in IIB string theory. All these vacua are described in superspace by a fixed point with all components of supertorsion and supercurvature being supercovariantly constant. This foll...
متن کاملDuality in M ( atrix ) Theory and S Duality in field theory
The matrix model formulation of M theory can be generalized to compact transverse backgrounds such as tori. If the number of compact directions is K then the matrix model
متن کاملNon-Supersymmetric Stable Vacua of M-Theory
We present a non-supersymmetric compactification of M-theory down to seven dimensions which is close to a stable non-supersymmetric vacuum. This compactification is dual to a non-supersymmetric interacting conformal field theory in six dimensions. We argue that a given classical compactification of M-theory or string theory is close to a stable vacuum if it is dual to a conformal field theory w...
متن کاملDuality, Superstrings & M-theory
In these notes, I give a simple introduction to the tremendous progress that has been made during the last few years towards the understanding of strong-coupling phenomena in quantum gauge theories and superstring theories.
