There are an infinite number of type IIB superstrings in ten dimensions, called (p,q) strings, that are labeled by two distinct string charges. They can form string junctions and string networks. These are the key to understanding the…
We consider the bosonic sectors of supergravity theories in ten and eleven dimensions which correspond to the low energy limits of string theories and M-theory. The solutions of supergravity field equations are known as supergravity…
We present three different Type IIB AdS$_4$ Supergravity solutions, derived using the electrostatic-like problem formalism which preserves 8 Poincar\'{e} Supercharges. Two of these solutions correspond to the Abelian and non-Abelian T-duals…
A new duality is proposed in four-dimensional flat space, which exchanges between spin and orbital degrees of freedom. This is motivated by a Hodge decomposition of the angular-momentum bivector for massive fields, along which spin and…
We derive a class of cubic interaction vertices for three higher spin fields, with integer spins $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$, $\lambda_3$, by closing commutators of the Poincar\'e algebra in four-dimensional flat spacetime. We find that these…
We analyse the $n$-dimensional superintegrable Kepler-Coulomb system with non-central terms. We find a novel underlying chain structure of quadratic algebras formed by the integrals of motion. We identify the elements for each sub-structure…
IIB supergravity is reformulated with a manifest local USp(8) invariance that makes the embedding of five-dimensional maximal supergravities transparent. In this formulation the ten-dimensional theory exhibits all the 27 one-form fields and…

A geometry of superspace corresponding to double field theory is developed, with type II supergravity in D=10 as the main example. The formalism is based on an orthosymplectic extension OSp(d,d|2s) of the continuous T-duality group.…
The tensor hierarchy of maximal supergravity in D dimensions is known to be closely related to a Borcherds (super)algebra that is constructed from the global symmetry group E(11-D). We here explain how the Borcherds algebras in different…
We derive the U-duality charge orbits, as well as the related moduli spaces, of "large" and "small" extremal black holes in non-maximal ungauged Maxwell-Einstein supergravities with symmetric scalar manifolds in d=5 space-time dimensions.…
Some connections between quadratic forms over the field of two elements, Clifford algebras of quadratic forms over the real numbers, real graded division algebras, and twisted group algebras will be highlighted. This allows to revisit real…
We analyze the decomposition of the enveloping algebra of the conformal algebra in arbitrary dimension with respect to the mass-squared operator. It emerges that the subalgebra that commutes with the mass-squared is generated by its…
We construct families of supersymmetric solutions of type IIB and D=11 supergravity that are invariant under the non-relativistic Schrodinger(z) algebra for various values of the dynamical exponent z. The new solutions are based on five-…
In superstring theory spin structures are present on both the 2-dimensional worldsheet and 10-dimensional spacetime. We present a new proposal for the B-field in superstring theory and demonstrate its interaction with worldsheet spin…
The half-maximal supergravity theories in three dimensions, which have local $SO(8)\xz SO(n)$ and rigid SO(8,n) symmetries, are discussed in a superspace setting starting from the superconformal theory. The on-shell theory is obtained by…
We start with the Lorentz algebra $ L=o_{R}(1,3)$ over the reals and find a suitable basis $B$ relative to which the structure constants are integers. Thus we consider the $Z$-algebra $L_{Z}$ which is free as a $Z$-module and its $Z$-basis…
We review the construction of the multiparametric inhomogeneous orthogonal quantum group ISO_qr(N) as a projection from SO_qr(N+2), and recall the conjugation that for N=4 leads to the quantum Poincare group. We study the properties of the…
In the context of holography, we analyse aspects of supersymmetric geometries based on two-dimensional orbifolds known as spindles. By analysing spin$^c$ spinors on a spindle with an azimuthal rotation symmetry we show that under rather…
Twists of four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs) isolate protected sectors with rich algebraic structures. We develop a unified framework for analyzing symmetries and anomalies in four-dimensional holomorphically…
