-Theory unifies classical with Maxwell's classical electromagnetism () by showing that 5-dimensional general relativity is equivalent to 4-dimensional General relativity + 4-dimensional maxwell's classical electromagnetism. Supergravity goes a step ahead by also unifying the and . To do this, however, is also required. However, is a classical theory.

What is the current status of ${\cal N}=8$ Supergravity among physicists?

On April 24 2018, Z. Bern et al wrote this https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.09311 A conclusion of this paper is that the 5-loop four-point amplitude of ${\cal N}=8$ supergravity first diverges at $D = 24/5$. Based on the trend given by…

What is the Origin and physical meaning of R- multiplet and S-multiplet in Sugra?

In this summer, i learnt about various muliplet in Supergravity. First i summarize what i learn from the school. (i) Ferrar-Zumino multiplet The super-current multiplet satisfies \begin{align} \bar{D}^{\dot{\alpha}}J_{\alpha \dot{\alpha}} =…
