Abstract
Tensoring two on-shell super Yang-Mills multiplets in dimensions yields an on-shell supergravity multiplet, possibly with additional matter multiplets. Associating a (direct sum of) division algebra(s) with each dimension we obtain formulae for the algebras and of the U-duality group and its maximal compact subgroup , respectively, in terms of the internal global symmetry algebras of each super Yang-Mills theory. We extend our analysis to include supergravities coupled to an arbitrary number of matter multiplets by allowing for non-supersymmetric multiplets in the tensor product.
