This paper continues the discussion of hep-th/0605038, applying the holographic formulation of self-dual theory to the Ramond-Ramond fields of type II supergravity. We formulate the RR partition function, in the presence of nontrivial H-fields, in terms of the wavefunction of an 11-dimensional Chern-Simons theory. Using the methods of hep-th/0605038 we show how to formulate an action principle for the RR fields of both type IIA and type IIB supergravity, in the presence of RR current. We find a new topological restriction on consistent backgrounds of type IIA supergravity, namely the fourth Wu class must have a lift to the H-twisted cohomology.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives missing torsion terms in the holographic symmetry TFT for so(2n) N=4 SYM and matches its gapped boundary conditions to the global forms and discrete theta angles of disconnected orthogonal gauge theories.
