Abstract
Using a unified formulation of , super Yang-Mills theories in spacetime dimensions with fields valued respectively in , it was shown that tensoring left and right multiplets yields a Freudenthal magic square of supergravities. When tied in with the more familiar description of super Yang-Mills in this results in a magic pyramid of supergravities: the known magic square at the base in , a square in , a square in and Type II supergravity at the apex in .
