Journal ArticleDOI
Supergravity in theory in 11 dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the action and transformation laws of supergravity in 11 dimensions were presented, which is expected to be closely related to the O(8) theory in 4 dimensions after dimensional reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to get masses from extra dimensions
Joel Scherk,John H. Schwarz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized method of dimensional reduction, applicable to theories in curved space, is described, where the extra dimensions are related to the manifold of a Lie group and the resulting theory has no cosmological constant, a well-behaved potential, and a number of arbitrary mass parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories
TL;DR: Yang-Mills theories with simple supersymmetry are constructed in 2, 4, 6, and 10 dimensions, and it is argued that these are essentially the only cases possible as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supersymmetry, supergravity theories and the dual spinor model
TL;DR: The connection between the dual spinor model and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories was studied in this article, where it was shown that in the low-energy region, the dual-spinor model yields a supersymmemic Yang-mills theory with O(4) internal symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry through dimensional reduction
Joel Scherk,John H. Schwarz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general technique for deriving consistent theories with spontaneously broken supersymmetry and massive gravitinos is illustrated by exploiting the chiral invariance of N = 1 supergravity in four dimensions to construct a theory with broken N = 2 supersymmetric in three dimensions.
