The map between conformal hypercomplex/hyper-Kaehler and quaternionic(-Kaehler) geometry
Eric Bergshoeff, Sorin Cucu, Tim de Wit +3
We review the general properties of target spaces of hypermultiplets, which are quaternionic-like manifolds, and discuss the relations between these manifolds and their symmetry ge…
N=2 supergravity in five dimensions revisited
Eric Bergshoeff, Sorin Cucu, Tim de Wit +3
We construct matter-coupled N=2 supergravity in five dimensions, using the superconformal approach. For the matter sector we take an arbitrary number of vector-, tensor- and hyper-…
From M-theory to D=5 supergravity and duality-symmetric theories
Sorin Cucu
This Ph.D. thesis was submitted to the Catholic University of Leuven. We discuss two main topics: various formulations of duality-symmetric theories and D=5 supergravity (both cons…
A Supersymmetric and Smooth Compactification of M-theory to AdS(5)
S. Cucu, H. Lu, J. F. Vazquez-Poritz
We obtain smooth M-theory solutions whose geometry is a warped product of AdS_5 and a compact internal space that can be viewed as an S^4 bundle over S^2. The bundle can be trivial…
Superconformal N=2, D=5 matter with and without actions
Eric Bergshoeff, Sorin Cucu, Tim de Wit +4
We investigate N=2, D=5 supersymmetry and matter-coupled supergravity theories in a superconformal context. In a first stage we do not require the existence of a Lagrangian. Under…
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…
