abstract

A strong coupling limit of theories whose low-energy effective field theory is 5-dimensional N=8 supergravity is proposed in which the gravitational coupling becomes large. It is argued that, if this limit exists, it should be a 6-dimensional theory with (4,0) supersymmetry compactified on a circle whose radius gives the 5-dimensional Planck length. The sector corresponding to the D=5 supergravity multiplet is a (4,0) D=6 superconformal field theory based on the (4,0) multiplet with 27 self-dual 2-forms, 42 scalars and, instead of a graviton, a fourth-rank tensor gauge field satisfying a self-duality constraint. The superconformal field theory has 32 supersymmetries and 32 conformal supersymmetries and its dimensional reduction gives the maximal supergravity in five dimensions. Electromagnetic duality generalises to a gravitational triality.

Gravielectric and gravimagnetic fluxes in nutty black holes

gr-qc · 2026-05-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Misner strings carry singular gravielectric and gravimagnetic fluxes that connect horizons to infinity, explaining negative Komar masses as incoming field lines and showing the strings are massless empty tubes.
