Kac-Moody Symmetries of IIB Supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We formulate the bosonic sector of IIB supergravity as a non-linear realisation. We show that this non-linear realisation contains the Borel subalgebras of SL(11) and E7E_7 and argue that it can be enlarged so as to be based on the rank eleven Kac-Moody algebra E11E_{11}
