Erice lectures on "The status of local supersymmetry"
M. J. Duff
TL;DR
This paper reviews the current understanding of local supersymmetry, focusing on D=11 supergravity as the low-energy limit of M-theory, and explores its symmetries and preserved supersymmetries in vacua.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of local supersymmetry and investigates the symmetries and supersymmetry preservation in D=11 supergravity within M-theory.
Findings
D=11 supergravity as M-theory's low-energy limit
Analysis of symmetries in D=11 supergravity
Questions on supersymmetry preservation in vacua
Abstract
In the first lecture we review the current status of local supersymmetry. In the second lecture we focus on D=11 supergravity as the low-energy limit of M-theory and pose the questions: (1) What are the D=11 symmetries? (2) How many supersymmetries can M-theory vacua preserve?
