  2. Fundamental Symmetry for Theories with 32 Supercharges Theory Space or Vacuum Manifold  A Unifying Algebra ensures Completeness. Dimensional Reduction of Supergravities on T_n Cremmer -Julia En Series. (1981). ----begin with T-duality group, observe that E11 contains both O(10-n, 10-n) and GL(11-n,R) as proper subgroups; ----in 6d and below, dualize the NS-NS and R-R fields to extend T-duality to the Cremmer-Julia group: D=9 GL(2,R) ~ SL(n,R)xR D=8 SL(3,R)xSL(2,R) D=7 SL(5,R) D=6 SO(5,5) D=5 E_(6,6) D=4 E_(7,7) D=3 E_(8,8) D<3 requires string theory. Nicolai demonstrates E9 in 2d, with SO(2,1) x SO(16) hidden structure 11d sugra.E10 conjectured symmetry algebra for Type II toroidally compactified space. Moore 1993. [Type IIA-Heterotic 6d effective String duality sheds light on compactifications to 2d, fit neatly within the Monster Group, M_24; is this too large?? Lowe Chaudhuri, 1995]. Algebra BPS States,N=2 Heterotic String,8 conserved supercharges. Moore Harvey, 95. (a) Vacuum structure that of a groupoid, unlike tori; K3 x T2. E10 embedded in gauge and supergravity sectors. (b) Monopoles of the generalized Kac Moody algebra govern the nonperturbative properties, as in Seiberg Witten theory. (c)Multiplicity of Low energy Effective Dual string and field theories are realizations of a generalized Kac Moody Algebra.

  3. Peter West elucidated the principle that M theory is the group E11: the elements in the Chevalley basis of E11 can be shown to be isomorphic to the generators of the global algebra of each of the theories with 32 supercharges: 11d sugra, 10d type IIA, type IIB, and massive type IIA. Hep-th/0402142. E11 is the very extended termination of C-J Series, a generalized Kac Moody algebra of rank 11 with root lattice composed from.. As for E10, the (1,1) lattices of indefinite signature give real and imaginary roots… the representation theory is subtle. Bosonic E11 has a Minkowskian supersymmetric extension for spacetimes of signature (1,10)/(1,9). Schnakenburg West 2002-04: (a) enumerate the volume preserving basis for Lorentz generators, GL(d,R) ~ SL(d,R) x R; d=11, 10; and the full set of pform supergravity potentials, Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond-Ramond, include dilaton-axion 10d. (b) compute explicit structure constants of each 10, 11d supergravity global algebras.(c) identify the isomorphismfrom each Cartan subalgebra to the Chevalley basis of . Additional Evidence: invoke the nonlinear realization to identify explicit roots of E_11 with known line elements of supergravity M backgrounds. Unifying Symmetry for Theories with 32 Supercharges

  4. Unifying Symmetry for Theories with 32 Supercharges ----due to the KMA level structure, tower of fields as an extension of supergravity alone. No coupling to Yang Mills fields, nor chiral matter fields. Roman’s type IIA “mass”. Extending the global algebra of non-chiral IIA by a central extension gives Massive II: --to develop a comparison string theory, we still need to introduce spacetime, and mass parameters, namely, the string tension. This bosonic Algebraic theory is topological… Suppressing the algebra of the Lorentz (volume preserving) generators…..Massive IIA! -----The 11d sugra and Type IIA T duality group contained in E_11, and Type IIB is a simple modification of the Dynkin diagram of E_11: begin with E_8, extend to affine E_8 (E_9), and on to hyperbolic E_10, E_11. The Dynkin diagram E_11 bifurcates at the 8th (very extended) node: two inequivalent embeddings of the subgroup A_10, associated to the Lorentz algebra of 10d Type IIA and Type IIB.

  5. Global Algebra of the Type IIB Theory… Peter West’s elucidation of the principle that M theory is E11 was based in part simple observation: E_11 Dynkin diagram has 2 inequivalent A9 chains, bifurcating at node 8. Map from global type IIA to the Canonical (Chevalley) Basis: ----Unlike type IIA, the spinors of IIB have identical chirality, no permissible extension of the supersymmetry algebra by a mass (Roman’s) parameter. -----Remarkably, the IIB algebra has a straightforward truncation given by the orientation projection to the global algebra of the type IB supergravity, breaking the SL(2,Z) symmetry, keeping a single term from each doublet.

  6. Theo of 16 Supercharges & the Fundamental Symmetry : Note! The projection acting on type IIB superstring acts on the global algebra of the type IIB supergravity, breaking the SL(2,Z) symmetry, yields Type IB: This truncation is readily identified as D_11, with dilaton, 2form (NS/RR); 6,8form duals. Thehe algebra of generators of gauge symmetries does not mix with the Lorentz-supergravity-pform potentials in theories of 16 supercharges, the anomaly free extension is affine E8XE8. (Chaudhuri, April 2004, 0404235). Note the absence of spacetime in the Algebraic formulation, modifying West’s conjecture, we can state: String/M theory is a realization of the Algebra extended by Supersymmetry with 16 conserved supercharges. Requires Minkowskian signature (1,9). Aside: With E_11, (1,10) gives an unambiguous bosonic algebra, Euclidean signature (0,11) gives a bosonic E_11 that does not extend to supersymmetry. Possibly, fundamnetal starting point for Euclidean formulation of finite temperature string/M theory.

  7. Generalized Electric Magnetic Duality The heterotic-type IA-type IB theories have the generalized Poincare-Hodge duality of an 11d theory, not necessarily with full 11d Poincare invariance. Remarkably, we discover the elusive spacetime evidence of the 12th member in the Dbrane spectrum, magnetic dual to the D8brane, in a worldsheet calculation, the unique extension with modified Dirichlet boundary conditions to Polchinski’s Dpbrane tension calculation for p = -1, 0, 1, …, 9. In 10d Hodge duality, we find missing dual to the spacefilling D9brane; 11d Hodge duality is complete p = (-2), (-1), 0, 1, 2, 3, and their 11d Hodge duals, =4—9. O. Alvarez (‘82). Cohen, Moore, Nelson, Polchinski (86). Chaudhuri, Chen, Novak, 1999. Douglas, Kabat, Pouiliot, Shenker 1996. Chaudhuri Novak 0002046. Exact double expansion in external field and distance was obtained, arbitrary field strength. The earliest evidence of sub-string-size monopoles, carry magnetic dual of D8brane charge---End of an F-soliton string on an D8brane, in external B field. Chaudhuri, hep-th/0007056.Pointlike monopoles are the zero size limit of a pair of circular line operators on D8branes. Finite sized loops frame surface operators (Framed BPS States, Gaiotto, Nietzke,Moore, ‘10) Remark: Compactification on a circle gives a KK oneform, possible extension to E_11.

  8. Matrix Theory and the Fundamental Symmetry : • A Planck Scale Generalized Electric Magnetic Dual Initial State • A matrix realization of this algebra on a Planck sized bubble of spacetime is conjectured to be generalized EM selfdual Initial State Universe with the generalized electric magnetic self dual spectrum of 12 pforms. • (Chaudhuri, 2004, 2008-10.) • IV. Conclusions: Conjectures and Future Work. In 9d and below, and with 8 susy, 4 susy on K3 x T2, likely the algebra will extend to E_10, E_11. Needs an update, a systematic analysis, fascinating prospects, exciting new stage for String/M Theory!! • (Open Questions in hep-th/0404235, Chaudhuri; w/Lowe, 9512226; and w/ H. Verlinde.) In 0201129, 0408057, I showed what modifications of M(atrix Theory) and the IKKT IIB Matrix Model were needed for a matrix realization of the algebra ; large N is a flavor symmetry, G_YM is finite rank, and (volume preserving) Lorentx x Supersymmetry extends to the full Electric-Magnetic Duality group D_11.
