TL;DR: In this article, states on the Coulomb branch of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory were studied from the point of view of gauged supergravity in ve dimensions.
Abstract: States on the Coulomb branch ofN = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory are studied from the point of view of gauged supergravity in ve dimensions. These supersymmetric solutions provide examples of consistent truncation from type-IIB supergravity in ten dimensions. A mass gap for states created by local operators and perfect screening for external quarks arise in the supergravity approximation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of anomalies on the supersymmetry-breaking parameters in supergravity theories were considered. And they constructed a supersymmetric expression for the anomaly-induced terms in the 1PI effective action and used this result to compute the complete one-loop formula for the anomalous gaugino mass.
Abstract: We consider the effects of anomalies on the supersymmetry-breaking parameters in supergravity theories. We construct a supersymmetric expression for the anomaly-induced terms in the 1PI effective action; we use this result to compute the complete one-loop formula for the anomaly-induced gaugino mass. The mass receives contributions from the super-Weyl, Kahler, and sigma-model anomalies of the supergravity theory. We point out that the anomaly-mediated gaugino mass can be affected by local counterterms that cancel the super-Weyl-Kahler anomaly. This implies that the gaugino mass cannot be predicted unless the full high-energy theory is known.

TL;DR: In this article, the bosonic sectors of the eleven-dimensional and IIA supergravity theories are derived as non-linear realisations, including the conformal group, the general linear group and automorphisms of the supersymmetry algebra.
Abstract: The bosonic sectors of the eleven-dimensional and IIA supergravity theories are derived as non-linear realisations. The underlying group includes the conformal group, the general linear group and as well as automorphisms of the supersymmetry algebra. We discuss the supersymmetric extension and argue that Osp(1/64) is a symmetry of M-theory. We also derive the effective action of the closed bosonic string as a non-linear realisation.

TL;DR: In this article, the quartic action for the scalars from the massless graviton multiplet of type IIB supergravity compactified on an AdS 53S 5 background coincides with the relevant part of the action of the gauged N58 5D supergravity on AdS5.
Abstract: We show that the recently found quartic action for the scalars from the massless graviton multiplet of type IIB supergravity compactified on an AdS 53S 5 background coincides with the relevant part of the action of the gauged N58 5D supergravity on AdS5. We then use this action to compute the four-point function of the lowest weight chiral primary operators tr ( f (i f j ) )i nN54 four-dimensional SYM theory at large N and at

TL;DR: In this paper, a strong coupling limit of theories whose low-energy effective field theory is 5-dimensional N=8 supergravity is proposed in which the gravitational coupling becomes large, and it is argued that, if this limit exists, it should be a 6-dimensional theory with (4,0) supersymmetry compactified on a circle whose radius gives the 5dimensional Planck length.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the general gaugings of N =2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories (MESGT) in five dimensions, extending and generalizing previous work, and showed that the presence of tensor fields transforming non-trivially under the Yang-Mills gauge group leads to the introduction of a potential which does not admit an AdS ground state.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed the complete and explicit non-linear Kaluza-Klein ansatz for deriving the bosonic sector of N =4 SU (2)×U (1) gauged five-dimensional supergravity from the reduction of type IIB supergravity on S 5.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the non-critical space-time non-commutative open string theory using a dual supergravity description in terms of a certain near-horizon limit of the F1-Dp bound state.
Abstract: We study the non-critical space-time non-commutative open string (NCOS) theory using a dual supergravity description in terms of a certain near-horizon limit of the F1-Dp bound-state. We find the thermodynamics of NCOS from supergravity. The thermodynamics is equivalent to Yang-Mills theory on a commutative space-time. We argue that this fact does not have to be in contradiction with the expected Hagedorn behaviour of NCOS. To support this we consider string corrections to the thermodynamics. We also discuss the relation to Little String Theory in 6 dimensions.
TL;DR: In this article, a particular class of supergravity models and their behavior under different choices of the K\"ahler metric are discussed and analyzed under the assumption that the expectation value of the field today is of the order of the Planck mass.
Abstract: Scalar field models of quintessence typically require that the expectation value of the field today be of the order of the Planck mass, if we want them to explain the observed acceleration of the Universe. This suggests that we should be considering models in the context of supergravity. We discuss a particular class of supergravity models and analyze their behavior under different choices of the K\"ahler metric.
TL;DR: In this paper, the algebraic constraints of the generalized vielbein in SO(1,2)×SO(16) invariant d = 11 supergravity were analyzed.
Abstract: We analyse the algebraic constraints of the generalized vielbein in SO(1,2)×SO(16) invariant d = 11 supergravity, and show that the bosonic degrees of freedom of d = 11 supergravity, which become the physical ones upon reduction to d = 3, can be assembled into an E8(8)-valued vielbein already in 11 dimensions. A crucial role in the construction is played by the maximal nilpotent commuting subalgebra of E8(8), of dimension 36, suggesting a partial unification of general coordinate and tensor gauge transformations.
TL;DR: In this article, a new compactification of chiral, N = 2 ten-dimensional supergravity down to five dimensions was presented, and it corresponds to the N =2 supersymmetric critical point of five-dimensional, n = 8 gauged supergravity found in [1].
TL;DR: In this article, an off-shell formulation of N = 2 Poincare supergravity in five dimensions was given, based on an offshell formulation for off-the-shelf supergravity.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a consistent reduction of type IIA supergravity on S^3, leading to a maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions with the full set of massless SO(4) Yang-Mills fields.
Abstract: We construct a consistent reduction of type IIA supergravity on S^3, leading to a maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions with the full set of massless SO(4) Yang-Mills fields. We do this by starting with the known S^4 reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity, and showing that it is possible to take a singular limit of the resulting standard SO(5)-gauged maximal supergravity in seven dimensions, whose eleven-dimensional interpretation involves taking a limit where the internal 4-sphere degenerates to RxS^3. This allows us to reinterpret the limiting SO(4)-gauged theory in seven dimensions as the S^3 reduction of type IIA supergravity. We also obtain the consistent S^4 reduction of type IIA supergravity, which gives an SO(5)-gauged maximal supergravity in D=6.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a perturbation of the gauge theory by a mass term for the adjoint hyper-multiplet, giving rise to an N=2 theory.
TL;DR: In this article, the supersymmetric spin networks were defined for supergravity and superymmetric gauge theories, and the supergravity extension of the area operator was defined and partly diagonalized.
Abstract: We define supersymmetric spin networks, which provide a complete set of gauge invariant states for supergravity and supersymmetric gauge theories. The particular case of Osp(1|2) is studied in detail and applied to the non-perturbative quantization of supergravity. The supersymmetric extension of the area operator is defined and partly diagonalized. The spectrum is discrete as in quantum general relativity, and the two cases could be distinguished by measurements of quantum geometry.
TL;DR: In this paper, the super Yang-Mills multiplet was used to construct a non-linear multiplet with gauged SU(2) and the action formula was derived for the Yang-Mill multiplet.
Abstract: We present some multiplets of N = 2 off-shell supergravity in five dimensions One is the Super Yang-Mills multiplet, another one is the linear multiplet The latter one is used to establish a general action formula from which we derive an action for the Super Yang-Mills multiplet The Super Yang-Mills multiplet is used to construct the non-linear multiplet with gauged SU(2) This non-linear multiplet and the action formula for the Yang-Mills multiplet enable us to write down an SU(2) gauged supergravity which we finally truncate to arrive at gauged supergravity with gauge group SO(2)
TL;DR: In this article, the tree level 4-particle scattering amplitudes in D = 11 supergravity were computed and shown to be part of a linearized supersymmetry, coordinate, and 3-form gauge invariant.
Abstract: We compute the tree level 4-particle bosonic scattering amplitudes in D = 11 supergravity. By construction, they are part of a linearized supersymmetry, coordinate, and 3-form gauge invariant. While this on-shell invariant is nonlocal, suitable SUSY-preserving differentiations turn it into a local one with correct dimension to provide a natural lowest (two-loop) order counterterm candidate. Its existence shows explicitly that no symmetries protect this ultimate supergravity: Indeed this invariant, together with the recently calculated infinite coefficient of its 4-graviton part, constitutes a demonstration of two-loop non-renormalizability.
TL;DR: The theory of SU(2) gauged seven-dimensional supergravity is obtained by compactifying ten dimensional N = 1 supergravity on the group manifold SU (2) as mentioned in this paper.
