  2. 1. Off-shell, maximal supersymmetry & exceptional geometry

    Author : Anna Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maximal supersymmetry; pure spinors; exceptional geometry; maximal supergravity; loop amplitudes; U-duality; high energy particle physics;

    Abstract : Two lines of research are presented in this thesis, both with a focus on fundamental properties within the supersymmetric theories of high energy physics. The first features analyses based on the actions for maximal supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory and supergravity, provided by the pure spinor formalism. READ MORE

  4. 2. On applications of manifest, maximal supersymmetry & U-duality

    Author : Anna Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; maximal supergravity; pure spinors; Maximal supersymmetry; loop amplitudes; U-duality; Born-Infeld theory; generalised geometry; high energy particle physics;

    Abstract : Maximal supersymmetry is made manifest through the introduction of the pure spinor formalism. In many ways, this formalism represents a powerful tool in examinations of characteristics of different theories in high energy physics, though it is far from extensively exploited. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exceptional Lie algebras and M-theory

    Author : Jakob Palmkvist; Marc Henneaux; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study algebraic structures in M-theory, in particular the exceptional Lie algebras arising in dimensional reduction of its low energy limit, eleven-dimensional supergravity. We focus on e8 and its infinite-dimensional extensions e9 and e10. READ MORE

  6. 4. Arithmetic and Hyperbolic Structures in String Theory

    Author : Daniel Persson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Instantons; Kac-Moody algebras; Spacelike singularities; String Theory;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an introductory text followed by two separate parts which may be read independently of each other. In Part I we analyze certain hyperbolic structures arising when studying gravity in the vicinity of spacelike singularities (the BKL-limit). READ MORE
