We consider dimensional reduction of the eleven-dimensional supergravity to less than four dimensions. The three-dimensional $E_{8(+8)}/SO(16)$ nonlinear sigma model is derived by direct dimensional reduction from eleven dimensions. In two dimensions we explicitly check that the Matzner-Misner-type $SL(2,R)$ symmetry, together with the $E_8$, satisfies the generating relations of $E_9$ under the generalized Geroch compatibility (hypersurface-orthogonality) condition. We further show that an extra $SL(2,R)$ symmetry, which is newly present upon reduction to one dimension, extends the symmetry algebra to a real form of $E_{10}$. The new $SL(2,R)$ acts on certain plane wave solutions propagating at the speed of light. To show that this $SL(2,R)$ cannot be expressed in terms of the old $E_9$ but truly enlarges the symmetry, we compactify the final two dimensions on a two-torus and confirm that it changes the conformal structure of this two-torus.

Original abstract
We consider dimensional reduction of the eleven-dimensional supergravity to less than four dimensions. The three-dimensional $E_{8(+8)}/SO(16)$ nonlinear sigma model is derived by direct dimensional reduction from eleven dimensions. In two dimensions we explicitly check that the Matzner-Misner-type $SL(2,R)$ symmetry, together with the $E_8$, satisfies the generating relations of $E_9$ under the generalized Geroch compatibility (hypersurface-orthogonality) condition. We further show that an extra $SL(2,R)$ symmetry, which is newly present upon reduction to one dimension, extends the symmetry algebra to a real form of $E_{10}$. The new $SL(2,R)$ acts on certain plane wave solutions propagating at the speed of light. To show that this $SL(2,R)$ cannot be expressed in terms of the old $E_9$ but truly enlarges the symmetry, we compactify the final two dimensions on a two-torus and confirm that it changes the conformal structure of this two-torus.

The hidden symmetry algebra was more generally conjectured to be $E_11-D$ for maximal supergravity reduced to $D$ dimensions [ref] , which implied reaching the affine Kac-Moody algebra $E_9$ in $D=2$ [ref] , and, possibly, the hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra $E_10$ when reducing to one timelike direction [ref] .

Similar results hold in various other theories of gravity: $D$-dimensional vacuum gravity has an $SL(D-2,ℝ)$ symmetry [ref] ; $4$-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell gravity has an $SU(2,1)$ symmetry [ref] ; $5$-dimensional minimal supergravity has a $G_2(2)$ symmetry [ref] ; $11$-dimensional supergravity has an $E_8(8)$ symmetry [ref] .
