Generalised geometry for M-theory
CM Hull - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
Generalised geometry studies structures on a d-dimensional manifold with a metric and 2-
form gauge field on which there is a natural action of the group SO (d, d). This is generalised …

[HTML][HTML] E11, SL (32) and central charges
P West - Physics Letters B, 2003 - Elsevier
We show that the E11 representation that contains the space–time translation generators
also contains the rank two and five totally anti-symmetric representations of A10. By studying …

The spinorial geometry of supersymmetric backgrounds
J Gillard, U Gran, G Papadopoulos - Classical and Quantum …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a new method to solve the Killing spinor equations of 11-dimensional
supergravity based on a description of spinors in terms of forms and on the Spin (1, 10) …

Supersymmetric backgrounds and generalised special holonomy
A Coimbra, C Strickland-Constable… - Classical and Quantum …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We define intrinsic torsion in generalised geometry and use it to introduce a new notion of
generalised special holonomy. We then consider generic warped supersymmetric flux …

Hidden symmetries and the fermionic sector of eleven-dimensional supergravity
T Damour, A Kleinschmidt, H Nicolai - Physics Letters B, 2006 - Elsevier
We study the hidden symmetries of the fermionic sector of D= 11 supergravity, and the rôle
of K (E10) as a generalised 'R-symmetry'. We find a consistent model of a massless spinning …

Supersymmetry and homogeneity of M-theory backgrounds
We describe the construction of a Lie superalgebra associated with an arbitrary
supersymmetric M-theory background, and discuss some examples. We prove that for …
