Yang-Mills origin of gravitational symmetries
A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +2
By regarding gravity as the convolution of left and right Yang-Mills theories together with a spectator scalar field in the bi-adjoint representation, we derive in linearised appro…
An octonionic formulation of the M-theory algebra
A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +2
We give an octonionic formulation of the N = 1 supersymmetry algebra in D = 11, including all brane charges. We write this in terms of a novel outer product, which takes a pair of…
A magic pyramid of supergravities
A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +2
By formulating N = 1, 2, 4, 8, D = 3, Yang-Mills with a single Lagrangian and single set of transformation rules, but with fields valued respectively in R,C,H,O, it was recently sh…
Super Yang-Mills, division algebras and triality
A. Anastasiou, L. Borsten, M. J. Duff +2
We give a unified division algebraic description of (D=3, N=1,2,4,8), (D=4, N=1,2,4), (D=6, N=1,2) and (D=10, N=1) super Yang-Mills theories. A given (D=n+2, N) theory is completel…
A magic square from Yang-Mills squared
L. Borsten, M. J. Duff, L. J. Hughes +1
We give a unified description of D = 3 super-Yang-Mills theory with N = 1, 2, 4, and 8 supersymmeties in terms of the four division algebras: reals (R), complexes (C), quaternions…
