Massive IIA supergravity from the topologically massive D-2-brane

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that the superfield equations of massive IIA supergravity can be derived from the $$-symmetry of the topologically massive D-2-brane, linking supergravity constraints to brane symmetries.

Contribution

It shows that the superfield equations of massive IIA supergravity follow from the $$-symmetry of a topologically massive D-2-brane, providing a new derivation method.

Findings

Superfield equations of massive IIA supergravity are implied by $$-symmetry.

The link between supergravity constraints and brane symmetries is established.

A novel derivation of supergravity equations from brane symmetry is presented.

Abstract

The superfield equations of massive IIA supergravity, in the form of constraints on the superspace geometry, are shown to be implied by $\kappa$-symmetry of the topologically massive D-2-brane.
