Maximal supersymmetry in ten and eleven dimensions

Abstract

This is the written version of a talk given in Bonn on September 11th, 2001 during a workshop on "Special structures in string theory". We report on joint work in progress with George Papadopoulos aimed at classifying the maximally supersymmetric solutions of the ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity theories with 32 supercharges.
