    Supergravity and its Legacy Prelude and the Play Sergio FERRARA (CERN – LNF INFN) Celebrating Supegravity at 40 CERN, June 24 2016 S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 1 Supergravity as carved on the Iconic Wall at the «Simons Center for Geometry and Physics», Stony Brook S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 2 Prelude S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 3 In the early 1970s I was a staff member at the Frascati National Laboratories of CNEN (then the National Nuclear Energy Agency), and with my colleagues Aurelio Grillo and Giorgio Parisi we were investigating, under the leadership of Raoul Gatto (later Professor at the University of Geneva) the consequences of the application of “Conformal Invariance” to Quantum Field Theory (QFT), stimulated by the ongoing Experiments at SLAC where an unexpected Bjorken Scaling was observed in inclusive electron- proton Cross sections, which was suggesting a larger space-time symmetry in processes dominated by short distance physics. In parallel with Alexander Polyakov, at the time in the Soviet Union, we formulated in those days Conformal invariant Operator Product Expansions (OPE) and proposed the “Conformal Bootstrap” as a non-perturbative approach to QFT. S. Ferrara - CERN, 2016 4 Conformal Invariance, OPEs and Conformal Bootstrap has become again a fashionable subject in recent times, because of the introduction of efficient new methods to solve the “Bootstrap Equations” (Riccardo Rattazzi, Slava Rychkov, Erik Tonni, Alessandro Vichi), and mostly because of their role in the AdS/CFT correspondence. The latter, pioneered by Juan Maldacena, Edward Witten, Steve Gubser, Igor Klebanov and Polyakov, can be regarded, to some extent, as one of the great legacies of higher dimensional Supergravity.

  • Subnuclear Physics: Past, Present and Future
    Subnuclear Physics: Past, Present and Future International Symposium 30 October - 2 November 2011 – The purpose of the Symposium is to discuss the origin, the status and the future of the new frontier of Physics, the Subnuclear World, whose first two hints were discovered in the middle of the last century: the so-called “Strange Particles” and the “Resonance #++”. It took more than two decades to understand the real meaning of these two great discoveries: the existence of the Subnuclear World with regularities, spontaneously plus directly broken Symmetries, and totally unexpected phenomena including the existence of a new fundamental force of Nature, called Quantum ChromoDynamics. In order to reach this new frontier of our knowledge, new Laboratories were established all over the world, in Europe, in USA and in the former Soviet Union, with thousands of physicists, engineers and specialists in the most advanced technologies, engaged in the implementation of new experiments of ever increasing complexity. At present the most advanced Laboratory in the world is CERN where experiments are being performed with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful collider in the world, which is able to reach the highest energies possible in this satellite of the Sun, called Earth. Understanding the laws governing the Space-time intervals in the range of 10-17 cm and 10-23 sec will allow our form of living matter endowed with Reason to open new horizons in our knowledge.

Mirac- ulously one gets information on a strong coupling limit of the gauge theory– information not otherwise available– from classical supergravity in which calculations are feasible. The prime example of AdS/CF T is the duality between =4 SYM theory and D=10 N Type IIB supergravity. The field theory has the very special property that it is ultraviolet finite and thus conformal invariant. Many years of elegant work on 2-dimensional CF T ′s has taught us that it is useful to consider both the conformal theory and its deformation by relevant operators which changes the long distance behavior and generates a renormalization group flow of the couplings. Analogously, in d=4, one can consider a) the conformal phase of =4 SYM N b) the same theory deformed by adding mass terms to its Lagrangian c) the Coulomb/Higgs phase.

  • Twenty Years of the Weyl Anomaly
    CTP-TAMU-06/93 Twenty Years of the Weyl Anomaly † M. J. Duff ‡ Center for Theoretical Physics Physics Department Texas A & M University College Station, Texas 77843 ABSTRACT In 1973 two Salam prot´eg´es (Derek Capper and the author) discovered that the conformal invariance under Weyl rescalings of the metric tensor 2 gµν(x) Ω (x)gµν (x) displayed by classical massless field systems in interac- tion with→ gravity no longer survives in the quantum theory. Since then these Weyl anomalies have found a variety of applications in black hole physics, cosmology, string theory and statistical mechanics. We give a nostalgic re- view. arXiv:hep-th/9308075v1 16 Aug 1993 CTP/TAMU-06/93 July 1993 †Talk given at the Salamfest, ICTP, Trieste, March 1993. ‡ Research supported in part by NSF Grant PHY-9106593. When all else fails, you can always tell the truth. Abdus Salam 1 Trieste and Oxford Twenty years ago, Derek Capper and I had embarked on our very first post- docs here in Trieste. We were two Salam students fresh from Imperial College filled with ideas about quantizing the gravitational field: a subject which at the time was pursued only by mad dogs and Englishmen. (My thesis title: Problems in the Classical and Quantum Theories of Gravitation was greeted with hoots of derision when I announced it at the Cargese Summer School en route to Trieste. The work originated with a bet between Abdus Salam and Hermann Bondi about whether you could generate the Schwarzschild solution using Feynman diagrams. You can (and I did) but I never found out if Bondi ever paid up.) Inspired by Salam, Capper and I decided to use the recently discovered dimensional regularization1 to calculate corrections to the graviton propaga- tor from closed loops of massless particles: vectors [1] and spinors [2], the former in collaboration with Leopold Halpern.

Another postdoc (Andrew Rothery from England) showed me a little book on GR by Lawden.1 I was hooked. That year Deser gave lectures at Orsay on GR, and I went with him to Brandeis. In 1973, 't Hooft and Veltman applied their new covariant quantization methods and dimensional regularization to pure gravity, using the 't Hooft lemma (Gilkey) for 1-loop divergences and the background field formalism of Bryce DeWitt. They found that at one loop, pure gravity was finite: 1 2 2 ∆L ≈ αRµν + βR = 0 on-shell. But what about matter couplings? 1\An Introduction to Tensor Calculus and Relativity".

  • Supergravity
    Supergravity Parada Prangchaikul, Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand September 6, 2018 Abstract Supergravity theory is an effective theory of M-theory in 11 dimensions (11D), hence the study of supergravity helps us understanding the fundamental theory. In this project, we worked on the construction of supergravity theories in certain conditions and studied the supersymmetry transformations of field contents in the theories. Furthermore, we studied a bosonic sector of matter coupled N = 2 4D supergravity using coset manifold. In conclusion, we obtained N = 1, N = 2 supergravity theories in 4D, 11D supergravity and the special Kahler manifold from the bosonic sector of matter coupled N = 2 4D supergravity written in the coset form G=H. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 N = 1 D = 4 supergravity 3 3 D = 11 supergravity 4 4 N = 2 D = 4 Supergravity 5 5 The bosonic sector of matter coupled N = 2 D = 4 supergravity 6 6 Future work 8 2 1 Introduction The minimal supergravity in 4 dimension was constructed by [1] in 1976. After that it was generalized in various dimensional spacetimes and numbers of supersymmetries. Then, Cremmer, Julia and Scherk [2] found the mother theory of supergravity, which was the theory in 11 spacetime dimensions. Since D > 11 dimensional theories consist of particles with helicities greater than 2. Therefore, the greatest supergravity theory is the one that lives in 11 dimensions (some physicists might say that supergravity is in its most beautiful form in 11 dimensions). In 1995, Edward Witten [3] found the link between five candidates of string theory which are type I, type IIA, type IIB, SO(32) Heterotic and E8 × E8 Heterotic string theories.

I. INTRODUCTION The questions run too deep For such a simple man Won’t you please, Please tell me what we’ve learned? Supertramp, The Logical Song Supermassive black holes have nonzero supermass, the quantity that couples to N = 1 supergravity, while in theories with more supercharges one may have superdupermassive black holes, and so on. Just as the no-hair theorem tells us that non-rotating black holes can be described as massive and charged, the no-hair supertheorem tell us that non-rotating superheavy black holes can be described as supermassive and supercharged. String theory provides hope to understand how to go beyond the semiclassical limit to describe in detail if and how black holes preserve unitarity, while superstring theory provides hope to understand the unitarity of supermassive black holes. With the recent observation of normal black hole [1–5] and neutron star[6] mergers via gravitational waves by the super-sensitive Advanced LIGO and VIRGO detectors, it is not unreasonable to expect gravitational-wave detections of supernovae of collapsing superstars or violent supermassive black hole astrophysical phenomena are on the horizon or, if you’ll forgive the absurd pun, superhorizon.
