Minimal Massive Gravity Coupled to Higher Spins

Franz Ciceri, Nihat Sadik Deger, Bastien Duboeuf +1

Among three-dimensional massive gravities, Minimal Massive Gravity (MMG) is distinguished by a parameter regime in which the AdS bulk theory and the dual conformal field theory can…

The matrix edge of holography

Franz Ciceri, Henning Samtleben

The IKKT matrix model arises at the extremal limit of holographic dualities based on D-brane geometries. We review the one-dimensional maximal supergravity that governs…

A supergravity dual for IKKT holography

Franz Ciceri, Henning Samtleben

The IKKT matrix model, from the holographic perspective, arises at the p=-1 endpoint of the family of dualities relating type II supergravities on near-horizon Dp-brane geometries…

Holography for the IKKT matrix model

Franz Ciceri, Henning Samtleben

Holographic dualities that relate type II strings on near-horizon Dp brane geometries to super Yang-Mills theories with sixteen supercharges in p+1 dimensions provide non-conformal…

Torus reduction of maximal conformal supergravity

Franz Ciceri, Axel Kleinschmidt, Subrabalan Murugesan +1

We consider the dimensional reduction of N=(2,0) conformal supergravity in six dimensions on a two-torus to N=4 conformal supergravity in four dimensions. At the level of kinematic…

Consistent sphere reductions of gravity to two dimensions

Franz Ciceri, Henning Samtleben

Consistent reductions of higher-dimensional (matter-coupled) gravity theories on spheres have been constructed and classified in an important paper by Cvetič, Lü and Pope. We close…

Consistent truncation of eleven-dimensional supergravity on

Guillaume Bossard, Franz Ciceri, Gianluca Inverso +1

Eleven-dimensional supergravity on is conjectured to be dual to the M-theory matrix model. We prove that the dynamics of a subset of fluctuations around this backgr…

Maximal D=2 supergravities from higher dimensions

Guillaume Bossard, Franz Ciceri, Gianluca Inverso +1

We develop in detail the general framework of consistent Kaluza-Klein truncations from D=11 and type II supergravities to gauged maximal supergravities in two dimensions. In partic…

Consistent Kaluza-Klein truncations and two-dimensional gauged supergravity

Guillaume Bossard, Franz Ciceri, Gianluca Inverso +1

We consider generalized Scherk-Schwarz reductions of E exceptional field theory to D=2 space-time dimensions and in particular construct the resulting scalar potential of all g…

E exceptional field theory II. The complete dynamics

Guillaume Bossard, Franz Ciceri, Gianluca Inverso +2

We construct the first complete exceptional field theory that is based on an infinite-dimensional symmetry group. E exceptional field theory provides a unified description of e…

E exceptional field theory I. The potential

Guillaume Bossard, Franz Ciceri, Gianluca Inverso +2

We construct the scalar potential for the exceptional field theory based on the affine symmetry group E. The fields appearing in this potential live formally on an infinite-dim…

Double Field Theory at SL(2) angles

Franz Ciceri, Giuseppe Dibitetto, J. J. Fernandez-Melgarejo +2

An extended field theory is presented that captures the full SL(2) x O(6,6+n) duality group of four-dimensional half-maximal supergravities. The theory has section constraints whos…

Construction of all N=4 conformal supergravities

Daniel Butter, Franz Ciceri, Bernard de Wit +1

All N=4 conformal supergravities in four space-time dimensions are constructed. These are the only N=4 supergravity theories whose actions are invariant under off-shell supersymmet…

The exceptional story of massive IIA supergravity

Franz Ciceri, Adolfo Guarino, Gianluca Inverso

The framework of exceptional field theory is extended by introducing consistent deformations of its generalised Lie derivative. For the first time, massive type IIA supergravity is…

Towards the full N=4 conformal supergravity action

Franz Ciceri, Bindusar Sahoo

Based on the known non-linear transformation rules of the Weyl multiplet fields, the action of conformal supergravity is constructed up to terms quadratic in the fermion fiel…

IIB Supergravity and the E6(6) covariant vector-tensor hierarchy

Franz Ciceri, Bernard de Wit, Oscar Varela

IIB supergravity is reformulated with a manifest local USp(8) invariance that makes the embedding of five-dimensional maximal supergravities transparent. In this formulation the te…
