How Space-Times Emerge from the Superpoint

John Huerta

We describe how the super Minkowski space-times relevant to string theory and M-theory, complete with their Lorentz metrics and spin structures, emerge from a much more elementary…

Real ADE-equivariant (co)homotopy and Super M-branes

John Huerta, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber

A key open problem in M-theory is the identification of the degrees of freedom that are expected to be hidden at ADE-singularities in spacetime. Comparison with the classification…

The Magic Star of Exceptional Periodicity

Piero Truini, Michael Rios, Alessio Marrani

We present a periodic infinite chain of finite generalisations of the exceptional structures, including e8, the exceptional Jordan algebra (and pair), and the octonions. We demonst…

M-theory from the Superpoint

John Huerta, Urs Schreiber

The "brane scan" classifies consistent Green--Schwarz strings and membranes in terms of the invariant cocycles on super-Minkowski spacetimes. The "brane bouquet" generalizes this b…

Division Algebras and Supersymmetry IV

John Huerta

Recent work applying higher gauge theory to the superstring has indicated the presence of 'higher symmetry', and the same methods work for the super-2-brane. In the previous paper…
