Vacuum configurations for superstrings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied candidate vacuum configurations in ten-dimensional O(32) and E 8 × E 8 supergravity and superstring theory that have unbroken N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions.

Eleven-dimensional supergravity on a manifold with boundary
Petr Hořava,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic analysis of eleven-dimensional supergravity on a manifold with boundary, which is believed to be relevant to the strong coupling limit of the E 8 × E 8 heterotic string.

Curvature Squared Terms and String Theories
TL;DR: The compatibility between the presence of curvature squared terms and the absence of ghost particles in the low energy limits of string theories is established in this article, where the Lagrangian σ√g d D ×(R μν ϱσ R μνϱσ σ −4 σ +R 2 ) leads to ghost-free nontrivial gravitational self-interactions for dimensions higher than four.

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.

Space-Time Symmetries in Gauge Theories
P. Forgács,Nicholas S. Manton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general definition of symmetries of gauge fields is proposed and a method developed for constructing symmetric fields for an arbitrary gauge group, where scalar fields occur naturally in the formalism and pure gauge theory reduces to a Higgs model in lower dimensions.

Quantum Meaning of Classical Field Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss how solutions to field equations, treated as classical, c-number nonlinear differential equations, expose unexpected states in the quantal Hilbert space with novel quantum numbers which arise from topological properties of the classical field configuration or from the mixing of internal and space-time symmetries.

Ten-dimensional Maxwell-Einstein supergravity, its currents, and the issue of its auxiliary fields
TL;DR: In this article, the d = 10, N = 1 Yang-Mills system is coupled to supergravity in a locally scale-invariant way, and an analysis of the currents agrees with the Noether coupling results and reveals the existence of two ordinary axial and more low dimension auxiliary fields.
