Democratic actions for type II supergravities

Abstract

We present a universal democratic Lagrangian for the bosonic sector of ten-dimensional type II supergravities, treating "electric" and "magnetic" potentials of all RR fields on equal footing. For type IIB, this includes the five-form whose self-duality equation is derived from the Lagrangian. We also present an alternative form of the action for type IIB, with manifest $SL(2,\mb R)$ symmetry.
