The vanishing volume of D=4 superspace
G. Bossard, P. S. Howe, K. S. Stelle +1
The volume of on-shell D=4, N=8 superspace is shown to vanish. Despite this, it is shown that there is a fully supersymmetric and duality-invariant candidate d^8 R^4 counterterm co…
Maximal supergravity in three dimensions: supergeometry and differential forms
J. Greitz, P. S. Howe
The maximal supergravity theory in three dimensions, which has local SO(16) and rigid symmetries, is discussed in a superspace setting starting from an off-shell superconform…
Ectoplasm with an Edge
P. S. Howe, T. G. Pugh, K. S. Stelle +1
The construction of supersymmetric invariant actions on a spacetime manifold with a boundary is carried out using the "ectoplasm" formalism for the construction of closed forms in…
Maximal supergravity in D=10: forms, Borcherds algebras and superspace cohomology
J. Greitz, P. S. Howe
We give a very simple derivation of the forms of supergravity from supersymmetry and (for IIB). Using superspace cohomology we show that, if the Bianchi ide…
