“…This is in accordance with previous results in the context of massive IIA supergravity [39]. 4. We analyse in addition the deformed supergravity theory obtained by gauging a global scaling symmetry of the equations of motion.…”

In this paper we investigate in detail the correspondence between E10 and Romans' massive deformation of type IIA supergravity. We analyse the dynamics of a non-linear sigma model for a spinning particle on the coset space E10/K(E10) and show that it reproduces the dynamics of the bosonic as well as the fermionic sector of the massive IIA theory, within the standard truncation. The mass deformation parameter corresponds to a generator of E10 outside the realm of the generators entering the usual D = 11 analysis, and is naturally included without any deformation of the coset model for E10/K(E10). Our analysis thus provides a dynamical unification of the massless and massive versions of type IIA supergravity inside E10. We discuss a number of additional and general features of relevance in the analysis of any deformed supergravity in the correspondence to Kac-Moody algebras, including recently studied deformations where the trombone symmetry is gauged.

“…However, the calculation is more subtle as the contribution from the superghost ground state has to be taken into account. Indeed, the contribution of the superghosts to the amplitude 17) and thus their ground state gives a divergent term (n = 0), which can potentially cancel the vanishing R-R ground state amplitude. In fact, it is clear from the gauge fixing condition for the light cone gauge, that there are only eight physical zero modes, and the light-cone calculation (see for example [9]) then implies that there is a non-vanishing contribution from the R-R sector for |p − p ′ | = 8.…”

“…If we consider the strong coupling limit of this theory, we might think that an eleventh dimension will open up and that we will get an eleven-dimensional theory with a cosmological constant. The low-energy theory of this theory would be eleven-dimensional supergravity with a cosmological constant, which does not exist [17]. On the other hand, the idea of matrix theory [23] is that in the strong coupling limit of type IIA string theory, everything is made out of D0-branes.…”

The potential of a configuration of two Dirichlet branes for which the number of ND-directions is eight is determined. Depending on whether one of the branes is an anti-brane or a brane, the potential vanishes or is twice as large as the dilatongravitational potential. This is shown to be related to the fact that a fundamental string is created when two such branes cross. Special emphasis is given to the D0-D8 system, for which an interpretation of these results in terms of the massive IIA supergravity is presented. It is also shown that the branes cannot move nonadiabatically in the transverse direction. The configuration of a zero brane and an orientifold 8-plane is analyzed in a similar way, and the implications for the type IA-heterotic duality and the heterotic matrix theory are discussed. *

“…On reduction to D = 10, the potential A 10 gives A 9 which couples to the IIA 8-brane, and a 10-form A 10 which couples to the 9-brane. However, it has been shown subject to certain assumptions that there is no conventional extension of D = 11 supergravity which includes a term of the form (7.3) [59], so that any modification of the supergravity theory including the term (7.3) must be of an unusual form.…”

It is argued that D = 10 type II strings and M-theory in D = 11 have D − 5 branes and 9-branes that are not standard p-branes coupled to anti-symmetric tensors. The global charges in a D-dimensional theory of gravity consist of a momentum P M and a dual D − 5 form charge K M1...MD−5 , which is related to the NUT charge. On dimensional reduction, P gives the electric charge and K the magnetic charge of the graviphoton. The charge K is constructed and shown to occur in the superalgebra and BPS bounds in D ≥ 5, and leads to a NUT-charge modification of the BPS bound in D = 4. K is carried by Kaluza-Klein monopoles, which can be regarded as D − 5 branes. Supersymmetry and U-duality imply that the type IIB theory has (p, q) 9-branes. Orientifolding with 32 (0,1) 9-branes gives the type I string, while modding out by a related discrete symmetry with 32 (1,0) 9-branes gives the SO(32) heterotic string. Symmetry enhancement, the effective world-volume theories and the possibility of a twelve dimensional origin are discussed.
