Spherical harmonics for the compactification of IIB supergravity on S_5
Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
We give a detailed derivation of the spherical harmonics which correspond to the spectrum in the tables of the 1985 paper by Kim, Romans and the author on the Kaluza-Klein dimensio…
Holographic counterterms from local supersymmetry without boundary conditions
Daniel Grumiller, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
We show in some lower-dimensional supergravity models that the holographic counterterms which are needed in the AdS/CFT correspondence to make the theory finite, coincide with the…
Quantum corrections to solitons and BPS saturation
A. Rebhan, P. van Nieuwenhuizen, R. Wimmer
We review our work of the past decade on one-loop quantum corrections to the mass M and central charge Z of solitons in supersymmetric field theories: the kink, the vortex, and the…
Simple d=4 supergravity with a boundary
Dmitry V. Belyaev, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
To construct rigidly or locally supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary actions, one needs an extension of the usual tensor calculus. Its key ingredients are the extended (F-, D-, etc.)…
Rigid supersymmetry with boundaries
Dmitry V. Belyaev, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
We construct rigidly supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary actions, both in -space and in superspace. For each standard supersymmetric bulk action a minimal supersymmetric bulk-plus…
Does Smoothing Matter?
Martin Rocek, Patrick van Nieuwenhuizen
We study how inhomogeneities modify large scale parameters in General Relativity. For a particular model, we obtain exact results: we compare an infinite string of extremal black h…
