On the quantum mechanics of supermembranes
TL;DR: The supermembrane can be viewed as a limiting case of a class of models in supersymmetric quantum mechanics and its ground state can be examined in this article, where the complexity of the ground state and various truncations of these models are examined.

Lagrangians of N = 2 supergravity-matter systems
TL;DR: In this article, explicit expressions for general actions of vector and scalar multiplets coupled to N = 2 supergravity are presented, which are based on the superconformal tensor calculus.

The consistency of the S7 truncation in d=11 supergravity
B. de Wit,Hermann Nicolai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give a complete proof that d = 11 supergravity compactified on S 7 admits a consistent truncation to its zero-mass sector and the resulting theory is shown to coincide with gauged N = 8 supergravity to all orders.

Examples of Stationary BPS Solutions in N = 2 Supergravity Theories with R2‐Interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, explicit examples of BPS solutions in four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity with R^2-interactions are discussed. And the existence of horizons for multi-centered solutions is discussed.
