We discuss the connection between Matrix string theory and the DLCQ of string theory. Using this connection we describe the sense in which perturbative string amplitudes are reproduced in the Matrix string theory. Using recent realization…
We present detailed analyses of the 3-body interactions of D-particles from both sides of 11 dimensional supergravity and Matrix theory. In supergravity, we derive a complete expression for the classical bosonic effective action for…
These lectures introduce some of the basic ideas of effective field theories. The topics discussed include: relevant and irrelevant operators and scaling, renormalization in effective field theories, decoupling of heavy particles, power…
A consistent gauging of maximal supergravity requires that the T-tensor transforms according to a specific representation of the duality group. The analysis of viable gaugings is thus amenable to group-theoretical analysis, which we explain…
We derive, using the pure-spinor formalism, the complete -- including the fermions -- four-point effective action of both type II superstrings to all orders in $\alpha'$, at tree level in string loops. We find that, in the quartic-field…
We discuss the coupling of vector-tensor multiplets to N=2 supergravity.
Effective Lagrangians are a useful tool for a data-driven approach to physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC. However, for the new physics scales accessible at the LHC, the effective operator expansion is only relatively slowly…
We modify the four-dimensional N=1 linearized supergravity in a way that components in each superfield are completely identified with fields in the full superconformal formulation. This identification makes it possible to use both…
We describe a new first-order formulation of D=11 supergravity which shows that that theory can be understood to arise from a certain topological field theory by the imposition of a set of local constraints on the fields, plus a lagrange…
We present a study of M(atrix) theory from a purely canonical viewpoint. In particular, we identify free particle asymptotic states of the model corresponding to the supergraviton multiplet of eleven dimensional supergravity. These states…
Effective Lagrangians can be used to parametrize the effects of physics beyond the standard model. Assuming the complete theory is a gauge theory, we determine which effective operators may be generated at tree level, and which are only…
We consider subleading terms in the one-loop Matrix theory potential between a classical membrane state and a supergraviton. Nontrivial terms arise at order v/r^8 and v^3/r^8 which are proportional to the angular momentum of the membrane…
We study the Matrix theory from a purely canonical viewpoint. In particular, we identify free particle asymptotic states of the model corresponding to the 11D supergraviton multiplet along with the split of the matrix model Hamiltonian into…
A new classical theory of gravitation within the framework of general relativity is presented. It is based on a matrix formulation of four-dimensional Riemann-spaces and uses no artificial fields or adjustable parameters. The geometrical…
We generalize previous work by considering a novel gravitational model with an action given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, the matter Lagrangian density, a scalar field and a kinetic term constructed from the gradients of the…
This article reviews the non-perturbative structure of certain higher derivative terms in the type II string theory effective action and their connection to one-loop effects in eleven-dimensional supergravity compactified on a torus. New…
We consider dimensionally reduced versions of N=2 four- dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and determine the one-loop effective Lagrangians associated with the motion over the corresponding moduli spaces. In the (0+1) case, the…
Making use of integral forms and superfield techniques we propose supersymmetric extensions of the multimetric gravity Lagrangians in dimensions one, two, three and four. The supersymmetric interaction potential covariantly deforms the…
A derivation of the one-loop effective Lagrangian in the self-interacting $O(N)$ scalar theory, in slowly varying gravitational fields, is presented (using $\zeta$-regularization and heat-kernel techniques). The result is given in terms of…
We discuss the fully non-linear formulation of multigravity. The concept of universality classes of effective Lagrangians describing bigravity, which is the simplest form of multigravity, is introduced. We show that non-linear multigravity…
