Semigroup Expansion and M-Supergravity in Eleven Dimensions
Fernando Izaurieta
This thesis deals with the construction of an eleven-dimensional gauge theory, off-shell invariant, for the M Algebra. The theory is built using a Transgression Form as a Lagrangia…
Eleven-Dimensional Gauge Theory for the M Algebra as an Abelian Semigroup Expansion of osp(32|1)
Fernando Izaurieta, Eduardo Rodríguez, Patricio Salgado
A new Lagrangian realizing the symmetry of the M Algebra in eleven-dimensional space-time is presented. By means of the novel technique of Abelian Semigroup Expansion, a link betwe…
Expanding Lie (super)algebras through abelian semigroups
Fernando Izaurieta, Eduardo Rodríguez, Patricio Salgado
We propose an outgrowth of the expansion method introduced by de Azcarraga et al. [Nucl. Phys. B 662 (2003) 185]. The basic idea consists in considering the direct product between…
The Extended Cartan Homotopy Formula and a Subspace Separation Method for Chern--Simons Theory
Fernando Izaurieta, Eduardo Rodríguez, Patricio Salgado
In the context of Chern--Simons (CS) Theory, a subspace separation method for the Lagrangian is proposed. The method is based on the iterative use of the Extended Cartan Homotopy F…
On Transgression Forms and Chern--Simons (Super)gravity
Fernando Izaurieta, Eduardo Rodríguez, Patricio Salgado
A transgression form is proposed as lagrangian for a gauge field theory. The construction is first carried out for an arbitrary Lie Algebra g and then specialized to some particula…
Higher dimensional gravity invariant under the AdS group
Patricio Salgado, Fernando Izaurieta, Eduardo Rodriguez
A higher dimensional gravity invariant both under local Lorentz rotations and under local Anti de Sitter boosts is constructed. It is shown that such a construction is possible bot…
