On the supersymmetric completion of the R term in M-theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the question of finding the supersymmetric completion of the R term in Mtheory. Using superfield methods, we present an eight derivative action in eight dimensions that has 32 preserved supersymmetries. We show also that this action has a hidden elevendimensional Lorentz invariance. It can thus be uplifted to give the complete set of bosonic terms in the M-theory eight derivative action.

Line completion number of grid graph Pn × Pm
The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least r edges, the super line graph of index r, Lr(G), has as its vertices the sets of r-edges of G, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number lc(G) of a graph G is the least positive integer r for which Lr(G) ...
متن کاملOn a supersymmetric completion of the R term in type IIB supergravity
We examine the question of the supersymmetric completion of the R term in type IIB supergravity by using superfield methods. We show that while there is an obstruction to constructing the full action, a subset of the terms in the action can be consistently analyzed independent of the other terms, and these can be obtained from the superfield. We find the complete type IIB action involving the c...
متن کاملHomotopy approximation of modules
Deleanu, Frei, and Hilton have developed the notion of generalized Adams completion in a categorical context. In this paper, we have obtained the Postnikov-like approximation of a module, with the help of a suitable set of morphisms.
متن کاملSupersymmetric Completion of an R term in Five-dimensional Supergravity
We analyze the structure of a particluar higher derivative correction of fivedimensional ungauged and gauged supergravity with eight supercharges. Namely, we determine all the purely bosonic terms which are connected by the supersymmetry transformation to the mixed gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons term, W ∧ trR ∧ R. Our construction utilizes the superconformal formulation of supergravity. As an...

Mathematical models for pollutant transport in semi-infinite aquifers are based on the advection-dispersion equation (ADE) and its variants. This study employs the ADE incorporating time-dependent dispersion and velocity and space-time dependent source and sink, expressed by one function. The dispersion theory allows mechanical dispersion to be directly proportional to seepage velocity. Initial...
