Non - propagating degrees of freedom in supergravity and very extended G 2

چکیده
Recently a correspondence between non-propagating degrees of freedom in maximal supergravity and the very extended algebra E11 has been found. We perform a similar analysis for a supergravity theory with eight supercharges and very extended G2. In particular, in the context of d = 5 minimal supergravity, we study whether supersymmetry can be realised on higher-rank tensors with no propagating degrees of freedom. We find that in this case the very extended algebra fails to capture these possibilities.

متن کاملHigher-derivative Gravitation and a New Mechanism for Supersymmetry Breaking in Four-dimensions
A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. The complete non-linear sigma model for these degrees of freedom is exhibited using the method of auxiliary fields. As a by-product we present a consistent non-linear coupling of a spin-2 tensor to gravitation. It is shown that non-vanishing (Cμναβ) 2 terms...
متن کاملDynamics and BPS states of AdS 5 supergravity with a Gauss - Bonnet term
Some dynamical aspects of five-dimensional supergravity as a Chern-Simons theory for the SU(2, 2|N) group, are analyzed. The gravitational sector is described by the EinsteinHilbert action with negative cosmological constant and a Gauss-Bonnet term with a fixed coupling. The interaction between matter and gravity is characterized by intricate couplings which give rise to dynamical features not ...
متن کاملGauged Supergravities , Tensor Hierarchies , and M - Theory
Deformations of maximal supergravity theories induced by gauging non-abelian subgroups of the duality group reveal the presence of charged M-theory degrees of freedom that are not necessarily contained in supergravity. The relation with Mtheory degrees of freedom is confirmed by the representation assignments under the duality group of the gauge charges and the ensuing vector and tensor gauge f...
متن کاملMaximally supersymmetric G-backgrounds of IIB supergravity
We classify the geometry of all supersymmetric IIB backgrounds which admit the maximal number of G-invariant Killing spinors. For compact stability subgroups G = G2, SU(3) and SU(2), the spacetime is locally isometric to a product Xn × Y10−n with n = 3, 4, 6, where Xn is a maximally supersymmetric solution of a n-dimensional supergravity theory and Y10−n is a Riemannian manifold with holonomy G...
