M-brane intersections from worldvolume superalgebras
Eric Bergshoeff, Joaquim Gomis, Paul K. Townsend
It is known that the M-branes of M-theory correspond to p-form charges in the D=11 spacetime supersymmetry algebra. Here we show that their intersections are encoded in the p-form…
Gauged Supergravity from Dimensional Reduction
E. Bergshoeff, M. de Roo, E. Eyras
We perform a generalised Scherk-Schwarz reduction of the effective action of the heterotic string on T^6 to obtain a massive N=4 supergravity theory in four dimensions. The local s…
Kaluza-Klein Monopoles and Gauged Sigma-Models
Eric Bergshoeff, Bert Janssen, Tomas Ortin
We propose an effective action for the eleven-dimensional (bosonic) Kaluza-Klein monopole solution. The construction of the action requires that the background fields admit an Abel…
Massive IIA supergravity from the topologically massive D-2-brane
E. Bergshoeff, P. M. Cowdall, P. K. Townsend
The superfield equations of massive IIA supergravity, in the form of constraints on the superspace geometry, are shown to be implied by -symmetry of the topologically massive D-…
Kappa-Symmetry, Supersymmetry and Intersecting Branes
E. Bergshoeff, R. Kallosh, T. Ortin +1
We present a new form of kappa-symmetry transformations for D-branes in which the dependence on the Born-Infeld field strength is expressed as a relative rotation on the left- and…
Intersections involving waves and monopoles in eleven dimensions
E. Bergshoeff, M. de Roo, E. Eyras +2
We consider intersections in eleven dimensions involving Kaluza-Klein monopoles and Brinkmann waves. Besides these purely gravitational configurations we also construct solutions t…
Multiple Intersections of D-branes and M-branes
E. Bergshoeff, M. de Roo, E. Eyras +2
We give a classification of all multiple intersections of D-branes in ten dimensions and M-branes in eleven dimensions that corresponds to threshold BPS bound states. The residual…
