Embedding formalism for anti-de Sitter superspaces
Nowar E. Koning
In this thesis we study embedding formalisms for -extended anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspaces in four and five dimensions. Specifically, building on earlier work in the…
Anti-de Sitter flag superspace
Nowar E. Koning, Sergei M. Kuzenko
This work aims to develop a global formulation for harmonic/projective anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspace $\text{AdS}^{4|8}\times S^2 \simeq \text{AdS}^{4|8}\times {\math…
New superparticle models in AdS superspaces
Nowar E. Koning, Emmanouil S. N. Raptakis
Recently, new superparticle models have been proposed in the -extended four and five-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspaces, AdS and AdS$^{5|8…
The anti-de Sitter supergeometry revisited
Nowar E. Koning, Sergei M. Kuzenko, Emmanouil S. N. Raptakis
In a supergravity framework, the -extended anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspace in four spacetime dimensions, , is a maximally symmetric background that…
Embedding formalism for AdS superspaces in five dimensions
Nowar E. Koning, Sergei M. Kuzenko
The standard geometric description of -dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is a quadric in defined by $(X^0)^2 - (X^1)^2 - \dots - (X^{d-1})^2 + (X^d)^2…
Embedding formalism for -extended AdS superspace in four dimensions
Nowar E. Koning, Sergei M. Kuzenko, Emmanouil S. N. Raptakis
The supertwistor and bi-supertwistor formulations for -extended anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspace in four dimensions, , were derived two year…
