abstract

We argue that supersymmetric higher-dimension operators in the effective actions of M-theory and IIB string theory do not affect the maximally supersymmetric vacua: $adS_4\times S^7$ and $adS_7\times S^4$ in M-theory and $adS_5\times S^5$ in IIB string theory. All these vacua are described in superspace by a fixed point with all components of supertorsion and supercurvature being supercovariantly constant. This follows from 32 unbroken supersymmetries and allows us to prove that such vacua are exact.

  1. A Central Charge for sub-AdS Holography

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Sub-AdS scales are mapped to sub-stacks of M < N D-branes, yielding a scale-dependent central charge c(R0) = (R0/L)^{d+q-1} c(L), with consistency checks from small black holes and Dp-brane theories.

  2. Embedding formalism for anti-de Sitter superspaces

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Develops bi-supertwistor realizations and extensions for N-extended AdS superspaces in 4D/5D with supergravity correspondence and superparticle applications.
