1. Off-shell, maximal supersymmetry & exceptional geometry
Sammanfattning : Two lines of research are presented in this thesis, both with a focus on fundamental properties within the supersymmetric theories of high energy physics. The first features analyses based on the actions for maximal supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory and supergravity, provided by the pure spinor formalism. LÄS MER
2. On applications of manifest, maximal supersymmetry & U-duality
Sammanfattning : Maximal supersymmetry is made manifest through the introduction of the pure spinor formalism. In many ways, this formalism represents a powerful tool in examinations of characteristics of different theories in high energy physics, though it is far from extensively exploited. LÄS MER
3. Exceptional Lie algebras and M-theory
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study algebraic structures in M-theory, in particular the exceptional Lie algebras arising in dimensional reduction of its low energy limit, eleven-dimensional supergravity. We focus on e8 and its infinite-dimensional extensions e9 and e10. LÄS MER
4. Arithmetic and Hyperbolic Structures in String Theory
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introductory text followed by two separate parts which may be read independently of each other. In Part I we analyze certain hyperbolic structures arising when studying gravity in the vicinity of spacelike singularities (the BKL-limit). LÄS MER
