Zwei-Dreibein Gravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Sjoerd de Haan, Olaf Hohm +2
We present a generally-covariant and parity-invariant "zwei-dreibein" action for gravity in three space-time dimensions that propagates two massive spin-2 modes, unitarily, and we…
Newton-Cartan Supergravity
Roel Andringa, Eric A. Bergshoeff, Jan Rosseel +1
We construct a supersymmetric extension of three-dimensional Newton-Cartan gravity by gauging a super-Bargmann algebra. In order to obtain a non-trivial supersymmetric extension of…
Dirac-Born-Infeld-Volkov-Akulov and Deformation of Supersymmetry
Eric Bergshoeff, Frederik Coomans, Renata Kallosh +2
We deform the action and the supersymmetry transformations of the d=10 and d=4 Maxwell supermultiplets so that at each order of the deformation the theory has 16 Maxwell multiplet…
New Massive Supergravity and Auxiliary Fields
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Marija Kovacevic, Lorena Parra +3
We construct a supersymmetric formulation of linearized New Massive Gravity without introducing higher derivatives. Instead, we introduce supersymmetrically a set of bosonic and fe…
Branes, Weights and Central Charges
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Fabio Riccioni, Luca Romano
We study the properties of half-supersymmetric branes in string theory with 32 supercharges from a purely group-theoretical point of view using the U-duality symmetry of maximal su…
