Massive gravity may be viewed as a suitable limit of bimetric gravity. The limiting procedure can lead to an interesting interplay between the "background" and "foreground" metrics in a cosmological context. The fact that in bimetric…
We show how massive/gauged maximal supergravities in 11-n dimensions with SO(n-l,l) gauge groups (and other non-semisimple subgroups of Sl(n,R)) can be systematically obtained by dimensional reduction of ``massive 11-dimensional…
We study the relationship between M theory on a nearly lightlike circle and U(N) gauge theory in p+1 dimensions. We define large N limits of these theories in which low energy supergravity is valid. The regularity of these limits implies an…
We review recent developments in the theory of supermembranes and their relation to matrix models.
A review of envisaged future quark transversity measurements is presented.
This is the introduction to the collection of review articles "Exact results on N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories". The first three sections are intended to give a general overview over the physical motivations behind this direction of…
I discuss recent work aimed at interpreting the top-quark mass measurements at the LHC and determining the theoretical uncertainty.
We propose a new program to quantize and renormalize gravity based on recent progress on the analysis of large random tensors. We compare it briefly with other existing approaches.
We give an overview of ongoing searches for effects motivated by the study of the quantum-gravity problem. We describe in greater detail approaches which have not been covered in recent ``Quantum Gravity Phenomenology'' reviews. In…
We review the physics of extremal black holes in supergravity theories, emphasizing the role of the first order formalism underlying single-centre solutions, the attractor mechanism and describing the recent progress in constructing general…
Some reflections are presented on the state of the search for a quantum theory of gravity. I discuss diverse regimes of possible quantum gravitational phenomenon, some well explored, some novel.
We discuss the renormalization properties of noncommutative supersymmetric theories. We also discuss how the gauge field plays a role similar to gravity in noncommutative theories.
We provide nonlinear realization of supergravity with an arbitrary number of supersymmetries by means of coset construction. The number of gravitino degrees of freedom counts the number of supersymmetries, which will be possibly probed in…
A possible generalisation is given to the meaning of maximal symmetry in the presence of torsion
We start by briefly reviewing the description of gravity theories as gauge theories in four dimensions. More specifically we recall the procedure leading to the results of General Relativity and Weyl Gravity in a gauge-theoretic manner.…
A personal recollection of events that preceded the construction of Supergravity and of some subsequent developments.
In this paper we overview the Poisson gauge theory focusing on the most recent developments. We discuss the general construction and its symplectic-geometric interpretation. We consider explicit realisations of the formalism for all…
This paper is a survey on the works [MS77, MS79, MS81] on maximal subgroups in finitely generated linear groups, and the works that followed it [GG08, GG13b, GG13a, Kap03, Iva92, HO16, GM16, AGS14, Sf90, Sf98, Per05, AKT16, FG18, GS17]…
We present a new massive theory of superspin Y=3/2 which has non-minimal supergravity as it's massless limit. The new result will illuminate the underlying structure of auxiliary fields required for the description of arbitrary massive…
We look for critical points with U(2) residual symmetry in 5-dimensional maximally supersymmetric gauged supergravity, by varying the embedding tensor, rather than directly minimizing the scalar potential. We recover all previously known…
