K(E10), Supergravity and Fermions

چکیده
We study the fermionic extension of the E10/K(E10) coset model and its relation to eleven-dimensional supergravity. Finite-dimensional spinor representations of the compact subgroup K(E10) of E10(R) are studied and the supergravity equations are rewritten using the resulting algebraic variables. The canonical bosonic and fermionic constraints are also analysed in this way, and the compatibility of supersymmetry with local K(E10) is investigated. We find that all structures involving A9 levels l = 0, 1 and 2 nicely agree with expectations, and provide many non-trivial consistency checks of the existence of a supersymmetric extension of the E10/K(E10) coset model, as well as a new derivation of the ‘bosonic dictionary’ between supergravity and coset variables. However, there are also definite discrepancies in some terms involving level l = 3, which suggest the need for an extension of the model to infinite-dimensional faithful representations of the fermionic degrees of freedom.

Iia and Iib Spinors from K(e 10 )
We analyze the decomposition of recently constructed unfaithful spinor representations of K(E10) under its SO(9)×SO(9), and SO(9)×SO(2) subgroups, respectively, where K(E10) is the ‘maximal compact’ subgroup of the hyperbolic Kac–Moody group E10. We show that under these decompositions, respectively, one and the same K(E10) spinor gives rise to both the fermionic fields of IIA supergravity, and...
متن کاملE10 and a small tension expansion of m theory.
A formal "small tension" expansion of D=11 supergravity near a spacelike singularity is shown to be equivalent, at least up to 30th order in height, to a null geodesic motion in the infinite-dimensional coset space E(10)/K(E10), where K(E10) is the maximal compact subgroup of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody group E10(R). For the proof we make use of a novel decomposition of E10 into irreducible repres...

متن کاملFermionic Kac-Moody Billiards and Supergravity
We study the “fermionic billiards”, i.e. the chaotic dynamics of the gravitino, that arise in the near-spacelike-singularity limit of elevendimensional supergravity and of its dimensional truncations (notably fourdimensional simple supergravity). By exploiting the gravity-coset correspondence, we show that the billiard dynamics of the gravitino is described by a ‘spin extension’ of the E10 Weyl...
متن کاملHidden symmetries and the fermionic sector of eleven-dimensional supergravity
We study the hidden symmetries of the fermionic sector of D = 11 supergravity, and the role of K(E10) as a generalised ‘R symmetry’. We find a consistent model of a massless spinning particle on an E10/K(E10) coset manifold whose dynamics can be mapped onto the fermionic and bosonic dynamics of D = 11 supergravity in the near space-like singularity limit. This E10-invariant superparticle dynami...
