Abstract Six-dimensional (6D) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central place
in the study of quantum field theories encountered in high energy theory. This article reviews …

U-duality and M-theory

NA Obers, B Pioline - Physics Reports, 1999 - Elsevier
This work is intended as a pedagogical introduction to M-theory and to its maximally
supersymmetric toroidal compactifications, in the frameworks of 11D supergravity, type II …

The large-N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity

We show that the large-N limits of certainconformal field theories in various dimensions
includein their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter …

Solutions of four-dimensional field theories via M-theory

E Witten - Nuclear Physics B, 1997 - Elsevier
N= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions are studied by formulating them as
the quantum field theories derived from configurations of fourbranes, fivebranes, and …

Timelike T-duality, de Sitter space, large N gauge theories and topological field theory

CM Hull - Journal of High Energy Physics, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
T-Duality on a timelike circle does not interchange IIA and IIB string theories, but takes the
IIA theory to a type IIB∗ theory and the IIB theory to a type IIA∗ theory. The type II∗ theories …

Generating Lie and gauge free differential (super) algebras by expanding Maurer–Cartan forms and Chern–Simons supergravity

JA de Azcarraga, JM Izquierdo, M Picon, O Varela - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
We study how to generate new Lie algebras G (N 0,…, N p,…, N n) from a given one G. The
(order by order) method consists in expanding its Maurer–Cartan one-forms in powers of a …
