On Higher Spins with a Strong Sp(2,R) Condition
A. Sagnotti, E. Sezgin, P. Sundell
We report on an analysis of the Vasiliev construction for minimal bosonic higher-spin master fields with oscillators that are vectors of SO(D-1,2) and doublets of Sp(2,R). We show…
Higher Spin N=8 Supergravity in AdS_4
E. Sezgin, P. Sundell
We review the basic structure of the higher spin extension of D=4, N=8 AdS supergravity. The theory is obtained by gauging the higher spin superalgebra shs^E(8|4) by a procedure pi…
Aspects of the M5-Brane
E. Sezgin, P. Sundell
The kappa symmetry of an open M2-brane ending on an M5-brane requires geometrical constraints on the embedding of the system in target superspace. These constraints lead to the M5-…
Properties of Gauged Sigma Models
R. Percacci, E. Sezgin
Nonlinear sigma models arise in supergravity theories with or without matter couplings in various dimensions and they are important in understanding the duality symmetries of M-the…
Topics in M-Theory
E. Sezgin
We give a brief history of the passage from strings to branes and we review some aspects of the following topics in M-theory: (a) an extended brane scan, (b) superembedding approac…
Chiral Reductions of the M-Algebra
E. Sezgin
We present the chiral truncation of the eleven dimensional M-algebra down to ten and six dimensions. In ten dimensions, we obtain a topological extension of the Poincaré su…
