The Non-Split Scalar Coset in Supergravity Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
The general non-split scalar coset of supergravity theories is discussed.The symmetric space sigma model is studied in two equivalent formulations and for different coset parametrizations.The dualisation and the local first order formulation is performed for the non-split scalar coset G/K when the rigid symmetry group G is a real form of a non-compact semisimple Lie group (not necessarily split) and the local symmetry group K is G’s maximal compact subgroup.A comparison with the scalar cosets arising in the T 10−D-compactification of the heterotic string theory in ten dimensions is also mentioned.

Coset Algebras of the Maxwell-Einstein Supergravities
The general structure of the scalar cosets of the Maxwell-Einstein supergravities is given. Following an introduction of the non-linear coset formalism of the supergravity theories a comparison of the coset algebras of the Maxwell-Einstein supergravities in various dimensions is discussed.
متن کاملDualisation of the General Scalar Coset in Supergravity Theories
The dualised formulation of the symmetric space sigma model is peformed for a general scalar coset G/K where G is a maximally noncompact group and K it’s maximal compact subgroup.By using the twisted self-duality condition the general form of the first-order equations are obtained.The results are applied to the example of SL(2, R) /SO(2) scalar manifold of the IIB supergravity.

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 کاملDomain walls of gauged supergravity, M-branes, and algebraic curves
We provide an algebraic classification of all supersymmetric domain wall solutions of maximal gauged supergravity in four and seven dimensions, in the presence of nontrivial scalar fields in the coset SL(8, IR)/SO(8) and SL(5, IR)/SO(5) respectively. These solutions satisfy first-order equations, which can be obtained using the method of Bogomol’nyi. From an eleven-dimensional point of view the...
متن کاملDomain Walls, Black Holes, and Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Supersymmetric solutions, such as BPS domain walls or black holes, in fourand fivedimensional supergravity theories with eight supercharges can be described by effective quantum mechanics with a potential term. We show how properties of the latter theory can help us to learn about the physics of supersymmetric vacua and BPS solutions in these supergravity theories. The general approach is illus...
