The kappa Supersymmetric Non Abelian Born Infeld Action for a D3 brane
Pietro Fre', Leonardo Modesto
In the previous submission of this paper we claimed to have solved the problem of constructing a consistent non-abelian Born Infeld action which is --supersymmetric to all order…
Gaugings and other supergravity tools of p-brane physics
Pietro Fré
In this series of lectures I present a review of the geometric structures of supergravity in diverse dimensions mostly relevant to p-brane physics and to pinpoint the correspondenc…
BPS Black Holes in Superegravity
Riccardo D'Auria, Pietro Fre'
In these lectures we explain the concept of supergravity p-branes and BPS black holes. Introducing an audience of general relativists to all the necessary geometry related with ext…
A detailed case study of the rigid limit in Special Kähler geometry using K3
Marco Billo, Frederik Denef, Pietro Fre +4
This is a résumé of an extensive investigation of some examples in which one obtains the rigid limit of N=2 supergravity by means of an expansion around singular points in the modu…
