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…
Kappa-symmetric SL(2,R) covariant D-brane actions
E. Bergshoeff, P. S. Howe, S. Kerstan +1
A superspace formulation of IIB supergravity which includes the field strengths of the duals of the usual physical one, three and five-form field strengths as well as the eleven-fo…
SL(2,R)-invariant IIB Brane Actions
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Sven F. Kerstan +2
We give a universal SL(2,R)-invariant expression for all IIB p-brane actions with p=-1,1,3,5,7,9. The Wess-Zumino terms in the brane actions are determined by requiring (i) target…
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…
The deformed M2-brane
P. S. Howe, S. F. Kerstan, U. Lindstrom +1
The superembedding formalism is used to study correction terms to the dynamics of the M2 brane in a flat background. This is done by deforming the standard embedding constraint. It…
Integral invariants in N=4 SYM and the effective action for coincident D-branes
J. M. Drummond, P. J. Heslop, P. S. Howe +1
The construction of supersymmetric invariant integrals is discussed in a superspace setting. The formalism is applied to D=4, N=4 SYM and used to construct the F^2, F^4 and (F^5 +…
Supersymmetric Born-Infeld from the D9-brane
Sven F. Kerstan
Using the superembedding approach, the full supersymmetric effective field theory of the D9-brane, super Born-Infeld theory, is fixed by the so called -constraint. The…
