Near-Horizon Supergravity Superspace
Piet Claus
We present a construction of the superspace of maximally supersymmetric adS_{p+2} x S^{d-p-2} near-horizon geometry based entirely on the supergravity constraints of which the boso…
Superisometries of the adS*S Superspace
Piet Claus, Renata Kallosh
We find the superisometry of the near-horizon superspace, forming the superconformal algebra. We present here the explicit form of the transformation of the bosonic and fermionic c…
Symmetries of the Boundary of AdS_5 x S^5 and Harmonic Superspace
Piet Claus, Renata Kallosh, J. Rahmfeld
We study the boundary limit of the bulk isometries of AdS x S. The superconformal symmetry is realized on the coordinates of the AdS boundary, the fermionic superspace coordinates,…
Conformal Symmetry on World Volumes of Branes
Piet Claus, Renata Kallosh, Antoine Van Proeyen
We show how the anti-de Sitter isometries of a brane solution of supergravity theory produce superconformal invariance of their world-volume action. In this way linear as well as n…
Super M-brane actions in adS_4 x S^7 and adS_7 x S^4
Piet Claus
The world-volume action of the M2 brane and the M5-brane in an adS_4 x S^7 and a adS_7 x S^4 background is derived to all orders in anticommuting superspace coordinates. Contrary t…
Black Holes and Superconformal Mechanics
P. Claus, M. Derix, R. Kallosh +3
The dynamics of a (super)particle near the horizon of an extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is shown to be governed by an action that reduces to a (super)conformal mechanics mod…
Vector-tensor multiplets
P. Claus, B. de Wit, M. Faux +3
We review the coupling of N=2 supergravity to vector-tensor multiplets, based on the method of superconformal multiplet calculus.
Conformal Theory of M2, D3, M5 and `D1+D5' Branes
P. Claus, R. Kallosh, J. Kumar +2
The bosonic actions for M2, D3 and M5 branes in their own d-dimensional near-horizon background are given in a manifestly SO(p+1,2) x SO(d-p-1) invariant form (p=2,3,5). These symm…
