Three-forms, Supersymmetry and String Compactifications

Fotis Farakos, Stefano Lanza, Luca Martucci +1

We review a duality procedure that relates standard matter-coupled N=1 supergravity to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field-strengths of gauge three-fo…

Fayet-Iliopoulos terms in supergravity without gauged R-symmetry

Niccolò Cribiori, Fotis Farakos, Magnus Tournoy +1

We construct a supergravity-Maxwell theory with a novel embedding of the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term, leading to spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The gauging of the R-symmetry is no…

Extremal Black Holes, Stueckelberg Scalars and Phase Transitions

Alessio Marrani, Olivera Miskovic, Paula Quezada Leon

We calculate the entropy of a static extremal black hole in 4D gravity, non-linearly coupled to a massive Stueckelberg scalar. We find that the scalar field does not allow the blac…

The Magic Star of Exceptional Periodicity

Piero Truini, Michael Rios, Alessio Marrani

We present a periodic infinite chain of finite generalisations of the exceptional structures, including e8, the exceptional Jordan algebra (and pair), and the octonions. We demonst…

Asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions deep inside the black-hole regime

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Emil J. Martinec +4

We construct an infinite family of smooth asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions that have the same charges and angular momenta as general supersymmetric D1-D5-P black holes, b…

A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +3

Using a unified formulation of , super Yang-Mills theories in spacetime dimensions with fields valued respectively in , it wa…

Unitary 4-point correlators from classical geometries

Alessandro Bombini, Andrea Galliani, Stefano Giusto +2

We compute correlators of two heavy and two light operators in the strong coupling and large limit of the D1D5 CFT which is dual to weakly coupled AdS gravity. The light op…

A Kind of Magic

L. Borsten, A. Marrani

We introduce the extended Freudenthal-Rosenfeld-Tits magic square based on six algebras: the reals , complexes , ternions , quaternions $\mathbb…

Non-linear Realizations and Higher Curvature Supergravity

F. Farakos, S. Ferrara, A. Kehagias +1

We focus on non-linear realizations of local supersymmetry as obtained by using constrained superfields in supergravity. New constraints, beyond those of rigid supersymmetry, are o…

Are all supergravity theories Yang-Mills squared?

A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +3

Using simple symmetry arguments we classify the ungauged , supergravity theories, coupled to both vector and hyper multiplets through homogeneous scalar manifo…

Non-extremal superdescendants of the D1D5 CFT

Alessandro Bombini, Stefano Giusto

We construct solutions of IIB supergravity dual to non-supersymmetric states of the D1D5 system. These solutions are constructed as perturbations carrying both left and right movin…

Three-forms in Supergravity and Flux Compactifications

Fotis Farakos, Stefano Lanza, Luca Martucci +1

We present a duality procedure that relates conventional four-dimensional matter-coupled N=1 supergravities to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field-str…

Holographic 4-point correlators with heavy states

Andrea Galliani, Stefano Giusto, Rodolfo Russo

The AdS/CFT duality maps supersymmetric heavy operators with conformal dimension of the order of the central charge to asymptotically AdS supergravity solutions. We show that by st…

Constrained superfields from inflation to reheating

Ioannis Dalianis, Fotis Farakos

We construct effective supergravity theories from customized constrained superfields which provide a setup consistent both for the description of inflation and the subsequent rehea…

Dualities in CHL-Models

Daniel Persson, Roberto Volpato

We define a very general class of CHL-models associated with any string theory (bosonic or supersymmetric) compactified on an internal CFT C x T^d. We take the orbifold by a pair (…

From Linear to Non-linear SUSY and Back Again

N. Cribiori, G. Dall'Agata, F. Farakos

We show that couplings of the goldstino field, appearing when global supersymmetry is broken, can always be described in superspace by means of a nilpotent chiral superfield , s…

No More Walls! A Tale of Modularity, Symmetry, and Wall Crossing for 1/4 BPS Dyons

Natalie M. Paquette, Roberto Volpato, Max Zimet

We determine the generating functions of 1/4 BPS dyons in a class of 4d string vacua arising as CHL orbifolds of , a classification of which has been…

Nonlinear symmetries of black hole entropy in gauged supergravity

Dietmar Klemm, Alessio Marrani, Nicolò Petri +1

Freudenthal duality in N=2, D=4 ungauged supergravity is generated by an anti-involutive operator that acts on the electromagnetic fluxes, and results to be a symmetry of the Beken…

Non-Supersymmetric Magic Theories and Ehlers Truncations

Alessio Marrani, Gianfranco Pradisi, Fabio Riccioni +1

We consider the non-supersymmetric "magic" theories based on the split quaternion and the split complex division algebras. We show that these theories arise as "Ehlers" $SL(2,\math…
