Supergravity

P Van Nieuwenhuizen - Physics Reports, 1981 - Elsevier
Supergravity was discovered four years ago [234,120, 235] and interest in this new theory
has been great from the beginning. However, the rapid development of the field and various …

Conformal supergravity

ES Fradkin, AA Tseytlin - Physics Reports, 1985 - Elsevier
We give a review of conformal supergravity considered as a candidate for a fundamental
theory describing physics at Planck distances. Conformal supergravities are supersymmetric …

Bounds on Species Scale and the Distance Conjecture

D van de Heisteeg, C Vafa, M Wiesner - Fortschritte der Physik, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The species scale Λ s≤ M pl Λ_s≤M_\rmpl serves as a UV cutoff in the gravitational sector
of an EFT and can depend on the moduli of the theory as the spectrum of the theory varies. It …

The geometry of N= 2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity and Jordan algebras

M Günaydin, G Sierra, PK Townsend - Nuclear Physics B, 1984 - Elsevier
We construct the general coupling of nN= 2 Maxwell super-multiplets to N= 2 supergravity in
five spacetime dimensions. In the case that the scalar field manifold is symmetric we find a …

Lagrangians of N= 2 supergravity-matter systems

B de Wit, PG Lauwers, A Van Proeyen - Nuclear Physics B, 1985 - Elsevier
We present explicit expressions for general actions of vector and scalar multiplets coupled to
N= 2 supergravity. We outline their construction which is based on the superconformal …

Potentials and symmetries of general gauged N= 2 supergravity-Yang-Mills models

B de Wit, A Van Proeyen - Nuclear Physics B, 1984 - Elsevier
The general couplings of vector multiplets to N= 2 supergravity are presented. The
possibility of generalized duality invariance of the bosonic field equations is investigated …

Extended conformal supergravity

E Bergshoeff, M De Roo, B De Wit - Nuclear Physics B, 1981 - Elsevier
We present the complete structure of extended conformal supergravity for N⩽ 4. The relation
with the graded algebra SU (2, 2| N) and with the multiplet of currents is discussed. The N= 4 …

Topological amplitudes in string theory

I Antoniadis, E Gava, KS Narain, TR Taylor - Nuclear Physics B, 1994 - Elsevier
We show that certain type II string amplitudes at genus g are given by the topological
partition function F g discussed recently by Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and Vafa. These …

Structure of N= 2 supergravity

B De Wit, JW Van Holten, A Van Proeyen - Nuclear Physics B, 1981 - Elsevier
A number of N= 2 superconformal multiplets are presented. A corresponding calculus exists
which can be exploited for the construction of superconformally invariant actions. Actions …

Sphere partition functions and the Zamolodchikov metric

E Gerchkovitz, J Gomis, Z Komargodski - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We study the finite part of the sphere partition function of d-dimensional Conformal
Field Theories (CFTs) as a function of exactly marginal couplings. In odd dimensions, this …
