Ten-dimensional lifts of global supersymmetry on curved spaces
Ruben Minasian, Daniël Prins
Admissible curved space backgrounds for four-dimensional supersymmetric field theories are determined by solving Killing spinor equations of four-dimensional off-shell supergraviti…
Supersymmetric branes and instantons on curved spaces
Ruben Minasian, Daniël Prins, Hagen Triendl
We discuss non-linear instantons in supersymmetric field theories on curved spaces arising from D-branes. Focusing on D3-branes and four-dimensional field theories, we derive the s…
Spacetime supersymmetry in low-dimensional perturbative heterotic compactifications
Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian, Savdeep Sethi
We study the constraints of spacetime supersymmetry for perturbative three- and two-dimensional Minkowski vacua of the critical heterotic string. Assuming a standard RNS constructi…
M-theoretic Lichnerowicz formula and supersymmetry
André Coimbra, Ruben Minasian
A suitable generalisation of the Lichnerowicz formula can relate the squares of supersymmetric operators to the effective action, the Bianchi identities for fluxes, and some equati…
On Heterotic Vacua with Fermionic Expectation Values
Ruben Minasian, Michela Petrini, Eirik Eik Svanes
We study heterotic backgrounds with non-trivial -flux and non-vanishing expectation values of fermionic bilinears, often referred to as gaugino condensates. The gaugini appear i…
Non-duality in three dimensions
Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian, Savdeep Sethi
We investigate M-theory and heterotic compactifications to 7 and 3 dimensions. In 7 dimensions we discuss a class of massive supergravities that arise from M-theory on K3 and point…
