abstract

In the pure spinor formalism for the superstring and supermembrane, supersymmetric invariants are constructed by integrating over five $\theta$'s in d=10 and over nine $\theta$'s in d=11. This pure spinor superspace is easily explained using the superform (or ''ectoplasm'') method developed by Gates and collaborators, and generalizes the standard chiral superspace in d=4. The ectoplasm method is also useful for constructing d=10 and d=11 supersymmetric invariants in curved supergravity backgrounds.

  1. Superform Approach to Equivariant Localization in Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Closed superforms in superspace generate equivariantly closed polyforms for localization in off-shell 4d N=2 conformal supergravity, applied to vector, linear, chiral, and BF multiplets.

  2. The Double EFT Expansion in Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Quantum gravity EFT actions organize higher-curvature corrections into a field-theoretic expansion suppressed by the lightest new mass and a quantum-gravitational expansion suppressed by the species scale.
