Cosmological billiards and oxidation
Sophie de Buyl, Marc Henneaux, Bernard Julia, Louis Paulot
TL;DR
This paper explores how cosmological billiards can determine the spacetime dimension and p-form spectrum at the oxidation endpoint of gravitational theories, comparing this method with others like $GL(n,R)$ subgroups and superalgebras.
Contribution
It introduces a novel approach using cosmological billiards to identify properties of gravitational theories at their oxidation endpoint.
Findings
Cosmological billiards effectively determine spacetime dimension.
The method reveals p-form spectrum information.
Comparison shows advantages over existing techniques.
Abstract
We show how the properties of the cosmological billiards provide useful information (spacetime dimension and -form spectrum) on the oxidation endpoint of the oxidation sequence of gravitational theories. We compare this approach to the other available methods: subgroups and the superalgebras of dualities.
