Hidden Symmetries, Central Charges and All That | Bernard de Wit

27 Nov 2000 | Journal: | Class.Quant.Grav. 18 (2001) 3095-3112 | Subject: | hep-th | Affiliation: | Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands), Hermann Nicolai (Albert-Einstein-Institute, Golm, Germany | Abstract: | In this review we discuss hidden symmetries of toroidal compactifications of eleven-dimensional supergravity. We recall alternative versions of this theory which exhibit traces of the hidden symmetries when still retaining the massive Kaluza-Klein states. We reconsider them in the broader perspective of M-theory which incorporates a more extended variety of BPS states. We also argue for a new geometry that may underly these theories. All our arguments point towards an extension of the number of space-time coordinates beyond eleven. | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0011239 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
