N=8 BPS black holes preserving 1/8 supersymmetry
M. Bertolini, P. Fre`, M. Trigiante
In the context of N=8 supergravity we consider BPS black-holes that preserve 1/8 supersymmetry. It was shown in a previous paper that, modulo U-duality transformations of E_{7(7)}…
N=8 BPS Black Holes with 1/2 or 1/4 Supersymmetry and Solvable Lie Algebra Decompositions
G. Arcioni, A. Ceresole, F. Cordaro +4
In the context of N=8 supergravity we construct the general form of BPS 0--branes that preserve either 1/2 or 1/4 of the original supersymmetry. We show how such solutions are rela…
The Osp(8|4) singleton action from the supermembrane
Gianguido Dall'Agata, Davide Fabbri, Christophe Fraser +3
Our goal is to study the supermembrane on an background, where is a 7--dimensional Einstein manifold with Killing spinors. This is a direct w…
N=8 gaugings revisited: an exhaustive classification
F. Cordaro, P. Fre', L. Gualtieri +2
In this paper we reconsider, for N=8 supergravity, the problem of gauging the most general electric subgroup. We show that admissible theories are fully characterized by a single a…
G/H M-branes and AdS_{p+2} Geometries
L. Castellani, A. Ceresole, R. D'Auria +3
We prove the existence of a new class of BPS saturated M-branes. They are in one-to-one correspondence with the Freund--Rubin compactifications of M-theory on either (AdS_4) x (G/H…
Dualities in Supergravity and Solvable Lie Algebras
M. Trigiante
The purpose of the present thesis is to give a self-contained review of the solvable Lie algebra approach to supergravity problems related with S, T and U dualities. After recallin…
