Spinning particles and background fields
Eugenia Boffo
Through their respective sigma models, a bosonic string and a superstring can be coupled to (super)gravity fields. These are subsequently forced to satisfy their right classical eq…
Particles in the superworldline and BRST
E. Boffo
In this short note we discuss N-supersymmetric worldlines of relativistic massless particles and review the known result that physical spin-N/2 fields are in the first BRST cohomol…
Spin fields for the spinning particle
E. Boffo, I. Sachs
We propose an analogue of spin fields for the relativistic RNS-particle in 4 dimensions, in order to describe Ramond-Ramond states as "two-particle" excitations on the world line.…
Dual dilaton with and fluxes
Eugenia Boffo
In previous works we showed that a Courant algebroid in a particular frame and the differential geometry of the sum bundle provide a very natural geometric setting…
A gravitational action with stringy and fluxes via deformed differential graded Poisson algebras
E. Boffo, P. Schupp
We study a deformation of a -graded Poisson algebra where the functions of the phase space variables are complemented by linear functions of parity odd velocities. The deformati…
Dual gravity with flux from graded Poisson algebra
Eugenia Boffo, Peter Schupp
We suggest a new action for a ``dual'' gravity in a stringy , flux background. The construction is based on degree- graded symplectic geometry with a homological vector f…
Deformed graded Poisson structures, Generalized Geometry and Supergravity
Eugenia Boffo, Peter Schupp
In recent years, a close connection between supergravity, string effective actions and generalized geometry has been discovered that typically involves a doubling of geometric stru…
