Uniqueness of and pure supergravities in 4D
Nicolas Boulanger, Bernard Julia, Lucas Traina
After proving the impossibility of consistent non-minimal coupling of a real Rarita-Schwinger gauge field to electromagnetism, we re-derive the necessity of introducing the gravito…
Deformations of vector-scalar models
Glenn Barnich, Nicolas Boulanger, Marc Henneaux +3
Abelian vector fields non-minimally coupled to uncharged scalar fields arise in many contexts. We investigate here through algebraic methods their consistent deformations ("gauging…
A note on "gaugings" in four spacetime dimensions and electric-magnetic duality
Marc Henneaux, Bernard Julia, Victor Lekeu +1
The variety of consistent "gauging" deformations of supergravity theories in four dimensions depends on the choice of Lagrangian formulation. One important goal is to get the most…
, Borcherds algebras and maximal supergravity
Marc Henneaux, Bernard L. Julia, Jérôme Levie
The dynamical -forms of torus reductions of maximal supergravity theory have been shown some time ago to possess remarkable algebraic structures. The set ("dynamical spectrum")…
Magic N=2 supergravities from hyper-free superstrings
Yacine Dolivet, Bernard Julia, Costas Kounnas
We show by explicit construction the existence of various four dimensional models of type II superstrings with N=2 supersymmetry, purely vector multiplet spectrum and no hypermulti…
Electric-magnetic duality beyond four dimensions and in general Relativity
Bernard L. Julia
After reviewing briefly the classical examples of duality in four dimensional field theory we present a generalisation to arbitrary dimensions and to p-form fields. Then we explain…
