We compute supersymmetry algebra (superalgebra) in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories (SYM) consisting of a vector multiplet including fermionic contribution in six dimensions. We show that the contribution of fermion is given by boundary…
The new extensions of the Poincar\'e superalgebra recently found in ten and eleven dimensions are shown to admit a linear realization. The generators of the nonlinear and linear group transformations are shown to fall into equivalent…
We study the closed and open supermembranes on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background. In the framework of the membrane theory, the superalgebra is calculated by using the Dirac bracket and we obtain its central extension by…
Non-trivial extensions of the three dimensional Poincar\'e algebra, beyond the supersymmetric one, are explicitly constructed. These algebraic structures are the natural three dimensional generalizations of fractional supersymmetry of order…
Recent work applying higher gauge theory to the superstring has indicated the presence of `higher symmetry'. Infinitesimally, this is realized by a `Lie 2-superalgebra' extending the Poincare superalgebra in precisely the dimensions where…
We present a superspace formulation for super eightbrane theory based on massive type IIA supergravity in ten-dimensions. Remarkably, in addition to the 10-form superfield strength originally needed for super eightbrane, we also need an…
A new formulation of theories of supergravity as theories satisfying a generalized Principle of General Covariance is given. It is a generalization of the superspace formulation of simple 4D-supergravity of Wess and Zumino and it is…
We investigate extensions of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra by one additional super primary field and its charge conjugate. Using a supersymmetric covariant formalism we construct all N=2 super W-algebras up to spin 5/2 of the additional…
We show how to treat the superconformal algebras with eight Poincar\'e supercharges in a unified manner for spacetime dimension $2 < d\leq 6$. This formalism is ideally suited for analyzing the quadratic Casimir operator of the…
We consider the inclusion of brane charges in AdS_5 superalgebras that contain the maximal central extension of the super-Poincar\'e algebra on the boundary of AdS_5. For theories with N supersymmetries on the boundary, the maximal…
We ask when it is possible to construct arbitrary unitary multiplets of the superconformal algebra with eight Poincar\'e supercharges that are compatible with locality from (continuous deformations of) representations in free field…
Following [1] we further apply the octonionic structure to supersymmetric D=11 $M$-theory. We consider the octonionic $2^{n+1} \times 2^{n+1}$ Dirac matrices describing the sequence of Clifford algebras with signatures ($9+n,n$) ($n=0,1,2,…
We construct D=11 supergravity solutions dual to the twisted field theories arising when M-theory fivebranes wrap supersymmetric cycles. The cases considered are M-fivebranes wrapped on (i) a complex Lagrangian four-cycle in a D=8…
We study the algebraic structure of the Killing superalgebra of a supersymmetric background of $11$-dimensional supergravity and show that it is isomorphic to a filtered deformation of a $\mathbb Z$-graded subalgebra of the Poincar\'e…
The M-9-brane Wess-Zumino action is constructed, and by using it, consistency of the relation of p-branes for $p \ge 8$, suggested on the basis of superalgebra, is discussed.
In this work, we analyze an extended $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry with central charge and develop its superspace formulation under two distinct viewpoints. Initially, in the context of classical mechanics, we discuss the introduction of…
We argue that a modification of the super-AdS algebras which accounts for the presence of D-branes requires not only the inclusion of bosonic brane charges, but also the inclusion of new fermionic ones. We show that such fermionic brane…
We construct gauge-invariant and U-duality covariant expressions for Wess-Zumino terms corresponding to general Dp-branes (for any p<D) in arbitrary 2<D<11 dimensions. A distinguishing feature of these Wess-Zumino terms is that they contain…
We derive superalgebras in many types of supersymmetric M-brane backgrounds. The backgrounds examined here include the cases of the M-wave and the M-Kaluza-Klein monopole. On the basis of the obtained algebras, we deduce all the…
We construct new M-theory solutions of M5 branes that are a realization of the fully localized ten dimensional NS5/D6 and NS5/D5 brane intersections. These solutions are obtained by embedding self-dual geometries lifted to M-theory. We…
