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…
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…
Kappa-symmetric deformations of M5-brane dynamics
J. M. Drummond, S. F. Kerstan
We calculate the first supersymmetric and kappa-symmetric derivative deformation of the M5-brane worldvolume theory in a flat eleven-dimensional background. By applying cohomologic…
Kappa-symmetric Derivative Corrections to D-brane Dynamics
J. M. Drummond, S. F. Kerstan
We show how the superembedding formalism can be applied to construct manifestly kappa-symmetric higher derivative corrections for the D9-brane. We also show that all correction ter…
