ABSTRACT We show in the SU(1,1)-covariant formulation that IIB supergravity allows the introduction of a doublet and a quadruplet of ten-form potentials. The Ramond-Ramond ten-form potential which is associated with the SO(32) Type I superstring is in the quadruplet. Our results are consistent with a recently proposed $E_{11}$ symmetry underlying string theory. For the reader's convenience we present the full supersymmetry and gauge transformations of {\it all} fields both in the manifestly SU(1,1) covariant Einstein frame and in the real U(1) gauge fixed string frame. Comment: 36 pages; additional comments in section 7, typos corrected in formulae in sections 5 and 6, references added

Article: On Lorentz Invariant Actions for Chiral P-Forms
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We demonstrate how a Lorentz covariant formulation of the chiral p-form model in D=2(p+1) containing infinitely many auxiliary fields is related to a Lorentz covariant formulation with only one auxiliary scalar field entering a chiral p-form action in a nonpolynomial way. The latter can be regarded as a consistent Lorentz-covariant truncation of the former. We make the Hamiltonian analysis of the model based on the nonpolynomial action and show that the Dirac constraints have a simple form and are all of the first class. In contrast to the Siegel model the constraints are not the square of second-class constraints. The canonical Hamiltonian is quadratic and determines energy of a single chiral p-form. In the case of d=2 chiral scalars the constraint can be improved by use of `twisting' procedure (without the loss of the property to be of the first class) in such a way that the central charge of the quantum constraint algebra is zero. This points to possible absence of anomaly in an appropriate quantum version of the model. Comment: RevTeX file, 7 pages

ABSTRACT: An SU(1,1) symmetry is identified in chiral N = 2, D = 10 supergravity. Complete supersymmetry transformation formulas are obtained for each of the fields in the theory in a covariant formalism with manifest global SU(1,1) and local U(1) symmetries.

Article: IIB supergravity and E10
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We analyze the geodesic E10/K(E10)σ-model in a level decomposition w.r.t. the A8×A1 subalgebra of E10, adapted to the bosonic sector of type IIB supergravity, whose SL(2,R) symmetry is identified with the A1 factor. The bosonic supergravity equations of motion, when restricted to zeroth and first order spatial gradients, are shown to match with the σ-model equations of motion up to level ℓ=4. Remarkably, the self-duality of the five-form field strength is implied by E10 and the matching.
