Abstract

Tensoring two on-shell super Yang-Mills multiplets in dimensions D10D\leq 10 yields an on-shell supergravity multiplet, possibly with additional matter multiplets. Associating a (direct sum of) division algebra(s) D\mathbb{D} with each dimension 3D103\leq D\leq 10 we obtain formulae for the algebras g\mathfrak{g} and h\mathfrak{h} of the U-duality group GG and its maximal compact subgroup HH, 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.
