New 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 کاملD=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 کاملOn Hidden Symmetries in d = 11 Supergravity and Beyond 1
This talk is about hidden symmetries in eleven dimensions, but it is equally a tribute to a scientist and friend, who is eminently visible in four space-time dimensions: François Englert, in whose honor this meeting is being held. Therefore, before entering dans le vif du sujet I would like to express my gratitude for having had the opportunity and privilege to learn from him and to work with h...
متن کاملNew D = 6 , N = ( 1 , 1 ) Gauged Supergravity with Supersymmetric ( Minkowski ) 4 × S 2 Vacuum
We obtain a new gauged D = 6, N = (1, 1) pure supergravity by a generalised consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of M-theory on K3×R. The reduction requires a conspiratory gauging of both the Cremmer-Julia type global (rigid) symmetry and the homogeneous rescaling symmetry of the supergravity equations of motion. The gauged supergravity is different from the Romans D = 6 gauged supergravity in tha...
