Why does D=4, rather than more (or less)? An Orwellian explanation

S. Deser

Two simple, if Draconian, assumptions about classical gravity fix space-time's dimension at D=4

A brief history (and geography) of Supergravity: the first three weeks... and after

S. Deser

I summarize, at its 41st--and what would have been Bruno's 94th--birthday, the history of the discoveries of Supergravity and some of its structure and later developments.

Non-linear duality invariant partially massless models?

D. Cherney, S. Deser, A. Waldron +1

We present manifestly duality invariant, non-linear, equations of motion for maximal depth, partially massless higher spins. These are based on a first order, Maxwell-like formulat…

The legacy of ADM

S. Deser

This tribute to the memory of my old friend and collaborator, Richard Arnowitt, focuses on the history, results and physical significance of the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formulation o…

Duality invariance of fermions in AdS

S. Deser, D. Seminara

We show that in D=4 AdS, partially massless (PM) fermions retain the duality invariances of their flat space massless counterparts. They have tuned ratios $ {m^2}/{M^2}\…

Unconstrained canonical action for, and positive energy of, massive spin 2

S. Deser

Filling a much-needed gap, we exhibit the D=4 Fierz-Pauli (FP) massive s=2 action, and its--manifestly positive--energy, in terms of its 2s+1=5 unconstrained helicity (2,1,0) excit…
