Duality Anomalies in Linearized Gravity
Leron Borsten, Michael J. Duff, Dimitri Kanakaris +1
Classical linearized gravity admits a dual formulation in terms of a higher-rank tensor field. Proposing a prescription for the instanton sectors of linearized gravity and its dual…
Gravity as Gauge Theory Squared: A Ghost Story
A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +2
The Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) transformations and equations of motion of a gravity-two-form-dilaton system are derived from the product of two Yang-Mills theories in a BRST…
Are all supergravity theories Yang-Mills squared?
A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +3
Using simple symmetry arguments we classify the ungauged , supergravity theories, coupled to both vector and hyper multiplets through homogeneous scalar manifo…
Yang-Mills origin of gravitational symmetries
A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +2
By regarding gravity as the convolution of left and right Yang-Mills theories together with a spectator scalar field in the bi-adjoint representation, we derive in linearised appro…
A magic square from Yang-Mills squared
L. Borsten, M. J. Duff, L. J. Hughes +1
We give a unified description of D = 3 super-Yang-Mills theory with N = 1, 2, 4, and 8 supersymmeties in terms of the four division algebras: reals (R), complexes (C), quaternions…
