AB  - We consider the signature reversing transformation of the metric tensor induced by the chiral transformation of the curved space gamma matrices in spacetimes with signature , which also induces a spacetime orientation reversal. We conclude: (1) It is a symmetry only for chiral theories with , with k integer. (2) Yang–Mills theories require dimensions with T even for which even rank antisymmetric tensor field strengths and mass terms are also allowed. For example, super-Yang–Mills is ruled out. (3) Gravitational theories require dimensions with T odd, for which the symmetry is preserved by coupling to odd rank field strengths. In , for example, it is a symmetry of and type IIB supergravity but not type IIA. A cosmological term and also mass terms are forbidden but non-minimal coupling is permitted. (4) Spontaneous compactification from leads to interesting but different symmetries in lower dimensions such as , so Yang–Mills terms, Kaluza–Klein masses and a cosmological constant may then appear. As a well-known example, IIB permits .

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
