Bimetric, conformal supergravity and its superstring embedding
We discuss the connection between Weyl2 supergravity and superstrings and further discuss holography between 4-dimensional, N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 superconformal Weyl2 supergravity and N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8, higher spin-four theory on AdS 5. The Weyl2

New superconformal multiplets and higher derivative invariants in six dimensions
Within the framework of six-dimensional N=(1,0) conformal supergravity, we introduce new off-shell multiplets Oâ(n), where n=3,4,â¦, and use them to construct higher-rank extensions of the linear multiplet action.

Scalar-induced compactifications in higher dimensional supergravities [PDF]
We discuss compactifications of higher dimensional supergravities which are induced by scalars. In particular, we consider vector multiplets coupled to the supergravity multiplet in the case of D=9, 8 and D=7 minimal supergravities. These vector multiplets contain scalars, which parametrize coset spaces of the general form SO(10-D,n)/SO(10-D)xSO(n ...

The higher-dimensional origin of five-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauged supergravities [PDF]
Abstract Using exceptional generalised geometry, we classify which five-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 gauged supergravities can arise as a consistent truncation of 10-/11-dimensional supergravity.

On brane back-reaction and de Sitter solutions in higher-dimensional supergravity [PDF]
We argue that the problem of finding lower-dimensional de Sitter solutions to the classical field equations of higher-dimensional supergravity necessarily requires understanding the back-reaction of whatever localized objects source the bulk fields.

Axionic symmetry gaugings in supergravities and their higher-dimensional origin [PDF]
We study the class of four-dimensional N=4 supergravities obtained by gauging the axionic shift and axionic rescaling symmetries. We formulate these theories using the machinery of embedding tensors, characterize the full gauge algebras and discuss several specific features of this family of gauged supergravities. We exhibit in particular a generalized

Higher-dimensional field theories from type II supergravity
In this thesis we give a pedagogical introduction to the construction of NS5-D6(-O6)-D8(-O8) brane setups in massive type IIA string theory and the six-dimensional $(1,0)$ SCFT's they engineer. After describing how to introduce the various ingredients (and their interplay) in type IIA, we explain how to read off an effective linear quiver description ...
