Maximal Supersymmetry in Eleven-dimensional Supergravity Revisited and Chirotopes
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze maximal supersymmetry in eleven-dimensional supergravity from the point of view of the oriented matroid theory. The mathematical key tools in our discussion are the Englert solution and the chirotope concept. We argue that chirotopes may provide other solutions not only for elevendimensional supergravity but for any higher dimensional supergravity theory.

A Dielectric Flow Solution with Maximal Supersymmetry
We obtain a solution to eleven-dimensional supergravity that consists of M2-branes embedded in a dielectric distribution of M5-branes. Contrary to normal expectations, this solution has maximal supersymmetry for a brane solution (i.e. sixteen supercharges). While the solution is constructed using gauged supergravity in four dimensions, the complete eleven-dimensional solution is given. In parti...
متن کاملA harmonic family of dielectric flow solutions with maximal supersymmetry
We construct a new harmonic family: dielectric flow solutions with maximal supersymmetry in eleven-dimensional supergravity. These solutions are asymptotically AdS4 ×S7, while in the infra-red the M2 branes are dielectrically polarized into M5 branes. These solutions are holographically dual to vacua of the mass deformed theory on M2 branes. They also provide an interesting insight on the super...
متن کاملToward a Connection between the Oriented Matroid Theory and Supersymmetry
We considered the possibility that the oriented matroid theory is connected with supersymmetry via the Grassmann-Plucker relations. The main reason for this, is that such relations arise in both in the chirotopes definition of an oriented matroid, and in maximally supersymmetric solutions of elevenand ten-dimensional supergravity theories. Taking this observation as a motivation, and using the ...
متن کاملNew Consistent Limits of M-theory
The construction of effective field theories describing M-theory compactified on S1/Z2 is revisited, and new insights into the parameters of the theory are explained. Particularly, the web of constraints which follow from supersymmetry and anomaly cancelation is argued to be more rich than previously understood. In contradistinction to the lore on the subject, a consistent classical theory desc...
متن کاملHolonomy from wrapped branes
Compactifications of M-theory on manifolds with reduced holonomy arise as the local eleven-dimensional description of D6-branes wrapped on supersymmetric cycles in manifolds of lower dimension with a different holonomy group. Whenever the isometry group SU(2) is present, eight-dimensional gauged supergravity is a natural arena for such investigations. In this paper we use this approach and revi...
