SUGRA

The standard N = 1 D = 4 SUGRA prescription through which one obtains the MSSM soft breaking terms from string compactifications results in some very nontrivial relations between them.

But we know, for instance, that in the heterotic example I discussed above, the string threshold corrections are expressed in terms of the Dedekind function in terms of the moduli which has nothing to do with N = 1 D = 4 SUGRA couplings.

Surely the statement is not supposed to be that SUGRA only has stationary solutions because some of the SUSY generators close onto the Hamiltonian constraint?

Such hints include the insight that 11D SUGRA describes the nonperturbative description in a certain regime, and that Matrix Mechanics and dual CFT theories have something to do with the nonperturbative formulation.

Green showed how dualities and string theory expansions constraint the amplitudes in SUGRA.

Finally, generalization to SUGRA (that's what I thought was necessary but it was not).

Hodge numbers. argues that the symmetry of the near-horizon geometry of the heterotic string gets interestingly enhanced to OSp (2 | 8) - and he might really mean OSp (8 | 2) which is not the same thing - and how this enhanced symmetry can solve a 21-year-old paradox in SUGRA solutions, one whose full importance is probably fully comprehensible only to those who worked on it 21 years ago.

In recent years, Duff has been working on the entropy of various M-theoretical and SUGRA black holes with many types of charges.

Cachazo showed a remarkable convergence of N = 8 SUGRA at large complex momentum.

In Hiroši's opinion, the finiteness of N = 8 SUGRA is an open question.
