Comments on duality-symmetric theories

Xavier Bekaert, Sorin Cucu

We briefly review the basics of electric-magnetic duality symmetry and their geometric interpretation in the M-theory context. Then we recall some no-go theorems that prevent a sim…

Supersymmetry of Massive D=9 Supergravity

J. Gheerardyn, P. Meessen

By applying generalized dimensional reduction on the type IIB supersymmetry variations, we derive the supersymmetry variations for the massive 9-dimensional supergravity. We use th…

Flows on quaternionic-Kaehler and very special real manifolds

Dmitri V. Alekseevsky, Vicente Cortés, Chandrashekar Devchand +1

BPS solutions of 5-dimensional supergravity correspond to certain gradient flows on the product M x N of a quaternionic-Kaehler manifold M of negative scalar curvature and a very s…

Toy Model for Tachyon Condensation in Bosonic String Field Theory

Pieter-Jan De Smet, Joris Raeymaekers

We study tachyon condensation in a baby version of Witten's open string field theory. For some special values of one of the parameters of the model, we are able to obtain closed fo…

The scalars of N=2, D=5 and attractor equations

Antoine Van Proeyen

Theories in 5 dimensions with minimal supersymmetry are studied for domain-wall solutions and in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The scalar manifold is a product of a ve…

Deformations of duality-symmetric theories

Xavier Bekaert, Sorin Cucu

We prove that a sum of free non-covariant duality-symmetric actions does not allow consistent, continuous and local self-interactions that deform the gauge transformations. For ins…

Type 0 T-Duality and the Tachyon Coupling

Patrick Meessen, Tomas Ortin

We consider the T-duality relations between Type 0A and 0B theories, and show that this constraints the possible couplings of the tachyon to the RR-fields. Due to the `doubling' of…

Weyl multiplets of N=2 conformal supergravity in five Dimensions

Eric Bergshoeff, Sorin Cucu, Martijn Derix +3

We construct the Weyl multiplets of N=2 conformal supergravity in five dimensions. We show that there exist two different versions of the Weyl multiplet, which contain the same gau…

Hypermultiplets, domain walls and supersymmetric attractors

Anna Ceresole, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Renata Kallosh +1

We establish general properties of supersymmetric flow equations and of the superpotential of five-dimensional N = 2 gauged supergravity coupled to vector and hypermultiplets. We p…

New Formulations of D=10 Supersymmetry and D8-O8 Domain Walls

E. Bergshoeff, R. Kallosh, T. Ortin +2

We discuss a generalized form of IIA/IIB supergravity depending on all R-R potentials C^(p) (p=0,1,...,9) as the effective field theory of Type IIA/IIB superstring theory. For the…

The non-abelian Born-Infeld action at order F^6

Alexander Sevrin, Jan Troost, Walter Troost

To gain insight into the non-abelian Born-Infeld (NBI) action, we study coinciding D-branes wrapped on tori, and turn on magnetic fields on their worldvolume. We then compare predi…

Shadow multiplets and superHiggs mechanism

Davide Fabbri, Pietro Frè

We discuss a general feature of Freund Rubin compactifications that was previously overlooked. It consist in a curious pairing, which we call a shadow relation, of completely diffe…

D-branes and constant electro-magnetic backgrounds

J. Bogaerts, A. Sevrin, J. Troost +2

We probe the effective worldvolume theory of a set of coinciding D-branes by switching on constant electro-magnetic fields on them. The comparison of the mass spectrum predicted by…
