Development of a unified theory of physics would pave the way for new research and technology development for many years to come. Unfortunately, the two best current theories explaining nature, the Standard Model of particle physics and general relativity, do not seem to be compatible, requiring the development of more complicated models which contains both of these at their respective limits. Supergravities are one set of theories which may, at least in part, provide hints as to how it may be possible to unify physics into a single model.
This research project follows from a line of investigation which the …

The SU(3)-invariant sector of maximal supergravity in four dimensions with an SO(8) gauging is uplifted to D = 11 supergravity. In order to do this, the SU(3)-neutral sector of the tensor and duality hierarchies of the D = 4 �� = 8 supergravity is first worked out. The consistent D = 11 embedding of the full, dynamical SU(3) sector is then expressed at the level of the D = 11 metric and three-form gauge field in terms of these D = 4 tensors. The redundancies introduced by this approach are eliminated at the level of the D = 11 four-form …
