Gauging Maximal Supergravities
We review recent progress in the gauging of maximal supergravity theories.
متن کاملAn active mute for the trombone.
A mute is a device that is placed in the bell of a brass instrument to alter its sound. However, when a straight mute is used with a brass instrument, the frequencies of its first impedance peaks are slightly modified, and a mistuned, extra impedance peak appears. This peak affects the instrument's playability, making some lower notes difficult or impossible to produce when playing at low dynam...
متن کاملLiouville theory without an action
We show that the conformal bootstrap allows to solve the Liouville conformal field theory without any perturbative computation. In particular, the bootstrap provides the special structure constants that were previously computed perturbatively, up to rescalings of the vertex operators. We also show that there are constraints on the allowed normalization and rescalings of the vertex operators. ar...
متن کاملGauging possibilities for action based on friction underfoot.
Standing and walking generate information about friction underfoot. Five experiments examined whether walkers use such perceptual information for prospective control of locomotion. In particular, do walkers integrate information about friction underfoot with visual cues for sloping ground ahead to make adaptive locomotor decisions? Participants stood on low-, medium-, and high-friction surfaces...
متن کاملThe Maximal D=4 Supergravities
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 ...
