Uniqueness of D=8 minimal supergravity with two vector multiplets
Guillaume Bossard, Bingxin Lao, Ruben Minasian
There exist only four known string theories with minimal supersymmetry in eight dimensions, whose low energy effective descriptions are given by minimal supergravity coupled to $l=…
Modified Abelian Gauge Theories
Markus Dierigl, Ruben Minasian, DuÅ¡an NoviÄiÄ
The topological properties of field configurations in gauge theory contain important data about the (generalized) global symmetries of the theory as well as potential inconsistenci…
SymTFTs for Continuous non-Abelian Symmetries
Federico Bonetti, Michele Del Zotto, Ruben Minasian
Topological defects and operators give a far-reaching generalization of symmetries of quantum fields. An auxiliary topological field theory in one dimension higher than the QFT of…
Type IIB at eight derivatives: Five-Point Axio-Dilaton Couplings
James Liu, Ruben Minasian, Raffaele Savelli +1
We study the Type IIB eight-derivative effective Lagrangian beyond the quartic level, focusing on interactions involving gravitons and axio-dilatons. We show how to translate five-…
SymTFTs and Non-Invertible Symmetries of 6d (2,0) SCFTs of Type from M-theory
Federico Bonetti, Michele Del Zotto, Ruben Minasian
We revisit 6d (2,0) SCFTs of type and their realization in M-theory, focusing on absolute variants of these theories and on their global finite 0- and 2-form symmetries. We d…
Consistency of eight-dimensional supergravities: Anomalies, Lattices and Counterterms
Bing-Xin Lao, Ruben Minasian
We reexamine the question of quantum consistency of supergravities in eight dimensions. Theories with 16 supercharges suffer from the anomalies under the action of its discrete mod…
