“…The possibility of a dimensional reduction of a higher-dimensional theory on a sphere, in which a finite number of lower-dimensional fields including the gauge bosons of the isometry group were retained, was in fact conceived by Pauli in 1953 (in the context of an S 2 reduction of six-dimensional Einstein gravity) [7][8][9], but he recognised that the consistency problems mentioned above would be an obstacle to realising his idea. In fact, the S 7 reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity was the first non-trivial example in which the idea of a "Pauli reduction" [10] actually works.…”

“…Although the consistency of the S 7 Pauli reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity has now been fully established, and the uplift ansätze for the metric and 4-form field strength are explicitly known, these expressions are in practice somewhat unwieldy and complicated to use in full generality. In many cases, when for example lifting a solution of the fourdimensional gauged supergravity to D = 11, it may suffice to have explicit expressions for the uplift ansatz for only a subset of the fields in the full four-dimensional supergravity theory.…”

The consistency of the embedding of four-dimensional SO(8) gauged N = 8 supergravity into eleven-dimensional supergravity, where the internal directions are compactified on a seven-sphere, was established by de Wit and Nicolai in the 1980s. The reduction ansatz for the eleven-dimensional metric, and for some of the components of the 4-form field strength, were found at that time, and recently the complete expression for the 4-form reduction has been obtained. The expressions are quite complicated, and in many practical applications it would be sufficient to know the ansatz for a subset of the four-dimensional fields. In this paper, we obtain explicit expressions for the embedding of the truncation of the full N = 8 gauged theory to the N = 2 gauged STU supergravity. This corresponds, in the bosonic sector, to a consistent truncation of the N = 8 supergravity fields to those that are singlets under the U (1) 4 Cartan subalgebra of SO(8). This truncation to STU supergravity, which comprises N = 2 supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets, suffices, for example, for lifting the general 8-charge asymptotically-AdS rotating black holes to eleven dimensions.We also give two distinct further truncations to N = 2 supergravities coupled to single vector multiplets.

“…Notwithstanding this, especially Pauli was very critical with the Dirac theory of negative energy states. "I do not believe in your perception of 'holes', even if the existence of the 'antielectron' is proved", wrote Pauli to Dirac on May 1, 1933 [21]. And, more specifically, in a letter to Heisenberg of July 24, 1933, Pauli pointed out that the ...…”

An unknown story: Majorana and the Pauli-Weisskopf scalar electrodynamics

An account is given of an interesting but unknown theory by Majorana regarding scalar quantum electrodynamics, elaborated several years before the known Pauli-Weisskopf theory. Theoretical calculations and their interpretation are given in detail, together with a general historical discussion of the main steps towards the building of a quantum field theory for electrodynamics. A possible peculiar application to nuclear constitution, as conceived around 1930, considered by Majorana is as well discussed.

“…Thirty years later, Bell wrote: "In 1952 I saw the impossible done". (24) In fact, still in the beginning of the 1950s, he wrote to Pauli, (25) asking for papers on Bohm's proposal. However, due to some vicissitudes, he only resumed this problem ten years later.…”
