Kaluza-Klein supergravity in ten dimensions
Abstract
A massive version of N = 2 supergravity in ten dimensions has been constructed by compactification of the eleven-dimensional, N = 1 theory. This theory describes the usual N = 2 massless supermultiplet, in addition to which there is an infinite tower of massive, charged N = 2 supermultiplets. The appearance of these massive states as a consequence of the spontaneous breaking of part of the eleven-dimensional supersymmetry and the presence of Goldstone modes is clarified.
