Democratic actions for type II supergravities

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-05-01 v2

Abstract

We present a universal democratic Lagrangian for the bosonic sector of ten-dimensional type II supergravities, treating "electric" and "magnetic" potentials of all RR fields on equal footing. For type IIB, this includes the five-form whose self-duality equation is derived from the Lagrangian. We also present an alternative form of the action for type IIB, with manifest SL(2,\mbR)SL(2,\mb R) symmetry.
