Montonen-Olive duality of gauged supergravity?
M. J. Duff
The vanishing of the SO(N) beta-function of gauged N>4 supergravity has long seemed like an answer looking for a question. Here we conjecture that it is a consequence of a Montonon…
The conformal brane-scan: an update
M. J. Duff
Generalizing the "The Membrane at the End of the Universe", a 1987 paper "Supersingletons" by Blencowe and the author conjectured the existence of BPS p-brane configurations (p=2,…
Sir Thomas Walter Bannerman Kibble CBE
M. J. Duff, K. S. Stelle
Professor Tom Kibble was an internationally-renowned theoretical physicist whose contributions to theoretical physics range from the theory of elementary particles to modern early-…
Black Holes and Higher Composition Laws
L. Borsten, M. J. Duff, A. Marrani
We describe various relations between Bhargava's higher composition laws, which generalise Gauss's original composition law on integral binary quadratic forms, and extremal black h…
Weyl, Pontryagin, Euler, Eguchi and Freund
M. J. Duff
In a September 1976 PRL Eguchi and Freund considered two topological invariants: the Pontryagin number and the Euler number $χ\sim \int d^4x \sqrt{…
Black holes and general Freudenthal transformations
L. Borsten, M. J. Duff, J. J. Fernández-Melgarejo +2
We study General Freudenthal Transformations (GFT) on black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar (super)gravity theories with global symmetry of type . GFT can be conside…
