U-Duality and the Compactified Gauss-Bonnet Term
Ling Bao, Johan Bielecki, Martin Cederwall +2
We present the complete toroidal compactification of the Gauss-Bonnet Lagrangian from D dimensions to (D-n) dimensions. Our goal is to investigate the resulting action from the poi…
Aspects of higher curvature terms and U-duality
Ling Bao, Martin Cederwall, Bengt E. W. Nilsson
We discuss various aspects of dimensional reduction of gravity with the Einstein-Hilbert action supplemented by a lowest order deformation formed as the Riemann tensor raised to po…
A Note on Topological M5-branes and String-Fivebrane Duality
Ling Bao, Martin Cederwall, Bengt E. W. Nilsson
We derive the stability conditions for the M5-brane in topological M-theory using kappa-symmetry. The non-linearly self-dual 3-form on the world-volume is necessarily non-vanishing…
Membranes for Topological M-Theory
Ling Bao, Viktor Bengtsson, Martin Cederwall +1
We formulate a theory of topological membranes on manifolds with G_2 holonomy. The BRST charges of the theories are the superspace Killing vectors (the generators of global supersy…
