On first order formulations of supergravities
نویسنده
چکیده
Supergravities are usually presented in a so-called 1.5 order formulation. Here we present a general scheme to derive pure 1 st order formulations of supergravities from the 1.5 order ones. The example of N4 = 1 supergravity will be rederived and new results for N4 = 2 and N11 = 1 will be presented. It seems that beyond four dimensions the auxiliary fields introduced to obtain first order formulations of SUGRA theories do not admit supergeometrical transformation laws at least before a full superfield treatment. On the other hand first order formalisms simplify eventually symmetry analysis and the study of dimensional reductions .

Distinguishing Off-Shell Supergravities With On-Shell Physics
We show that it is possible to distinguish between different off-shell completions of supergravity at the on-shell level. We focus on the comparison of the “new minimal” formulation of off-shell four-dimensional N = 1 supergravity with the “old minimal” formulation. We show that there are 3manifolds which admit supersymmetric compactifications in the new-minimal formulation but which do not adm...
متن کاملThe Effect of Formulation Variables on the Release Kinetics of Paracetamol Tablet Formulations.
Aim: The objective of this work was to study the effects of formulation variables on the release kinetics of paracetamol tablet formulation. Materials and Methods: Paracetamol tablets were formulated using wet granulation (WG) and direct compression (DC) using two predetermined pressures. Avicel, dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and pregelatinized starch (PGS) were used as directly compressible...

متن کاملSupergravity, M theory and Cosmology
We discuss some recent attempts to reconcile cosmology with supergravity and M/string theory. First of all, we point out that in extended supergravities the scalar masses are quantized in terms of the cosmological constant in de Sitter vacua: the eigenvalues of the Casimir operator 3m/Λ take integer values. For the current value of the cosmological constant extended supergravities predict ultra...
متن کاملM-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 ...
