We classify decompositions of simple special finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero into the sum of two proper simple subsuperalgebras.
In this paper we describe all subalgebras and automorphisms of simple noncommutative Jordan superalgebras $K_3(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ and $D_t(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ and compute the derivations of the nontrivial simple finite-dimensional…
This note adds to the recent spate of derivations of the probabilistic apparatus of finite-dimensional quantum theory from various axiomatic packages. We offer two different axiomatic packages that lead easily to the Jordan algebraic…
We define Jordan quadruple systems by the polynomial identities of degrees 4 and 7 satisfied by the Jordan tetrad {a,b,c,d} = abcd + dcba as a quadrilinear operation on associative algebras. We find further identities in degree 10 which are…
In this paper, we classify four-dimensional Jordan algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different of two. We establish the list of 73 non-isomorphic Jordan algebras.
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. For a superspace $V=V_\bar{0}\oplus V_\bar{1}$ over $k$, we call the vector $(\dim_k V_\bar{0} ,\dim_k V_\bar{1})$ the (${\mathbb Z}_2$-)graded dimension of $V$. Let $J(D_1|D_2)$ be the free Jordan…
We present an alternative formulation of duality-symmetric eleven-dimensional supergravity with both three-form and six-form gauge fields. Instead of the recently-proposed scalar auxiliary field, we use a simpler lagrangian with a…
Using 3-algebras we obtain a nonabelian system of equations that furnish a representation of the (2,0)-supersymmetric tensor multiplet. The on-shell conditions are quite restrictive so that the system can be reduced to five-dimensional…
This Ph.D. thesis was submitted to the Catholic University of Leuven. We discuss two main topics: various formulations of duality-symmetric theories and D=5 supergravity (both construction and supersymmetric solutions). The thesis is…
Supergravity with eight supercharges in a four-dimensional Euclidean space is constructed at the full non-linear level by performing an off-shell time-like reduction of five-dimensional supergravity. The resulting four-dimensional theory is…
In this work the exceptional field theory formulation of supergravity with SL(5) gauge group is considered. This group appears as a U-duality group of $D=7$ maximal supergravity. In the formalism presented the hidden global duality group is…
Recently a new maximally supersymmetric, dyonically gauged supergravity in four-dimenions has been constructed. This theory admits several supersymmetric AdS solutions, and a Chern- Simons-matter dual theory has been proposed for a solution…
In this work we present the minimal supersymmetric extension of the five-dimensional dilaton-gravity theory that captures the main properties of the holographic dual of little string theory. It is described by a particular gauging of…
We consider `twin supergravities' - pairs of supergravities with $\mathcal{N}_+$ and $\mathcal{N}_-$ supersymmetries, $\mathcal{N}_+>\mathcal{N}_-$, with identical bosonic sectors - in the context of tensoring super Yang-Mills multiplets.…
We study non-supersymmetric solutions of five dimensional N=2 supergravity theories coupled to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets. The solutions constructed can be considered as deformations of known supersymmetric black hole…
We reformulate the Hamiltonian form of bosonic eleven dimensional supergravity in terms of an object that unifies the three-form and the metric. For the case of four spatial dimensions, the duality group is manifest and the metric and…
We perform a generalized dimensional reduction of six dimensional supergravity theories to five dimensions. We consider the minimal $(2,0)$ and the maximal $(4,4)$ theories. In each case the reduction allows us to obtain gauged…
The relationship between Jordan and Lie coalgebras is established. We prove that from any Jordan coalgebra $\langle A, \Delta\rangle$, it is possible to construct a Lie coalgebra $\langle L(A), \Delta_{L}\rangle$. Moreover, any dual algebra…
Magical supergravities are a very special class of supergravity theories whose symmetries and matter content in various dimensions correspond to symmetries and underlying algebraic structures of the remarkable geometries of the Magic Square…
The derivations of the Cheng-Kac Jordan superalgebras are studied. It is shown that, assuming -1 is a square in the ground field, the Lie superalgebra of derivations of a Cheng-Kac Jordan superalgebra is isomorphic to the Lie superalgebra…
