Orientifolds, Brane Coordinates and Special Geometry
R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara, M. Trigiante
We report on the gauged supergravity analysis of Type IIB vacua on K3x T2/Z2 orientifold in the presence of D3-D7-branes and fluxes. We discuss supersymmetric critical points corre…
Fluxes, supersymmetry breaking and gauged supergravity
Laura Andrianopoli, Sergio Ferrara, Mario Trigiante
We report on the gauged supergravity interpretation of certain compactifications of superstring theories with p-form fluxes turned on. We discuss in particular the interplay of dua…
On the Embedding of Space-Time Symmetries into Simple Superalgebras
R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara, M. A. Lledo
We explore the embedding of Spin groups of arbitrary dimension and signature into simple superalgebras in the case of extended supersymmetry. The R-symmetry, which generically is n…
Superconformal interpretation of BPS states in AdS geometries
Sergio Ferrara, Emery Sokatchev
We carry out a general analysis of the representations of the superconformal algebras SU(2,2/N), OSp(8/4,R) and OSp(8^*/4) and give their realization in superspace. We present a co…
Supergravity Predictions on Conformal Field Theories
A. Ceresole, G. Dall'Agata, R. D'Auria +1
We give an update on recent results about the matching between CFT operators and KK states in the AdS/CFT correspondence, and add some new comments on the realization of the baryon…
Superspace Representations of SU(2,2/N) Superalgebras and Multiplet Shortening
S. Ferrara
We derive massless and massive representations of all SU(2,2/N) superalgebras by using superfields defined in "harmonic superspace". This method allows one to easily construct "sho…
