Sen's mechanism for self-dual super Maxwell theory
In several elementary particle scenarios, self-dual fields emerge as fundamental degrees of freedom. Some examples are the D=2 chiral boson, D=10 Type IIB supergravity, and D=6 chiral tensor multiplet theory.

Higher Curvature Supergravity and Cosmology
In this contribution we describe dual higher-derivative formulations of some cosmological models based on supergravity. Work in this direction started with the Starobinsky model, whose supersymmetric extension was derived in the late 80's and was ...

Supergravity and the spinor dual model
We find that the spinor dual model is locally supersymmetric not only in the two-dimensional surface spanned by the string, but also with respect to the embedding space-time.

Supergravity Models for 3+1 Dimensional QCD
The most general black M5-brane solution of eleven-dimensional supergravity (with a flat R^4 spacetime in the brane and a regular horizon) is characterized by charge, mass and two angular momenta.

Black holes in the gravity/gauge theory correspondence [PDF]
The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a microscopic description of black hole thermodynamics. In this thesis, I study the relation between the classical physics of black holes and this microscopic description.

Gauge supergravity in D = 2 + 2
We present an action for chiral N = (1, 0) supergravity in 2 + 2 dimensions. The fields of the theory are organized into an OSp(1|4) connection supermatrix, and are given by the usual vierbein V a , spin connection ω ab , and Majorana gravitino ψ.

Flux quantization on 11-dimensional superspace
Flux quantization of the C-field in 11d supergravity is arguably necessary for the (UV-)completion of the theory, in that it determines the torsion charges carried by small numbers N ≪ ∞ of M-branes.

We show that the minimal D = 5, N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauged supergravity set-up may encode naturally the recently proposed clockwork mechanism. The minimal embedding requires one vector multiplet in addition to the supergravity multiplet and the ...
