Spectrum Generating Conformal and Quasiconformal U-Duality Groups, Supergravity and Spherical Vectors
After reviewing the algebraic structures that underlie the geometries of N = 2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories (MESGT) in five and four dimensions with symmetric scalar manifolds, we give a unified realization of their three dimensional U-duality groups as spectrum generating quasiconformal groups. They are F4(4), E6(2), E7(−5), E8(−24) and SO(n + 2, 4). Our formulation is covariant with...

In the present paper for a large family of topological semigroups, namely foundation semigroups, for which topological groups and discrete semigroups are elementary examples, it is shown that ?(S) is the dual of a function algebra.

We review the current status of the construction of unitary representations of Uduality groups of supergravity theories in five, four and three dimensions. We focus mainly on the maximal N = 8 supergravity theories and on the N = 2 MaxwellEinstein supergravity (MESGT) theories defined by Jordan algebras of degree three in five dimensions and their descendants in four and three dimensions. Entro...
متن کاملThe Automorphic Membrane
We present a 1-loop toroidal membrane winding sum reproducing the conjectured M-theory, four-graviton, eight derivative, R amplitude. The U -duality and toroidal membrane world-volume modular groups appear as a Howe dual pair in a larger, exceptional, group. A detailed analysis is carried out for M-theory compactified on a 3-torus, where the target-space Sl(3,Z)× Sl(2,Z) U -duality and Sl(3,Z) ...

Based on our work [1], we discuss how U-duality arises as an exact symmetry of M-theory from T-duality and 11D diffeomorphism invariance. A set of Weyl generators are shown to realize the Weyl group of SO(d, d,Z) and Ed(d)(Z), while Borel generators extend these finite groups into the full Tand U-duality groups. We discuss how the BPS states fall into various representations, and obtain duality...
