Multiple Membranes from Gauged Supergravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Olaf Hohm +1
Starting from gauged N=8 supergravity in three dimensions we construct actions for multiple membranes by taking the limit to global supersymmetry for different choices of the embed…
Dual Gravity and Matter
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Sven F. Kerstan +2
We consider the problem of finding a dual formulation of gravity in the presence of non-trivial matter couplings. In the absence of matter a dual graviton can be introduced only fo…
alpha'-Corrections to Heterotic Superstring Effective Action Revisited
W. A. Chemissany, Mees de Roo, Sudhakar Panda
In this letter we establish that the supersymmetric R^2 effective action for the heterotic string, obtained from the supersymmetrisation of the Lorentz Chern-Simons term, is to ord…
IIA Ten-forms and the Gauge Algebras of Maximal Supergravity Theories
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Sven F. Kerstan +2
We show that IIA supergravity can be extended with two independent 10-form potentials. These give rise to a single BPS IIA 9-brane. We investigate the bosonic gauge algebra of both…
IIB Nine-branes
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Sven F. Kerstan +2
We calculate the tensions of all half-supersymmetric nine-branes in IIB string theory. In particular, we point out the existence of a solitonic IIB nine-brane. We find that the D9-…
IIB Supergravity Revisited
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Sven F. Kerstan +1
We show in the SU(1,1)-covariant formulation that IIB supergravity allows the introduction of a doublet and a quadruplet of ten-form potentials. The Ramond-Ramond ten-form potentia…
