Hamiltonian formalism for \(N=1\), \(D=10\) Yang-Mills coupled supergravity (Q1120842): Difference between revisions

The canonical covariant formalism for \(N=1\) \(D=10\) matter-coupled supergravity is constructed and applied in both cases, when the Lagrangian density contains linear terms in the Riemann curvature, or the quadratic one. When in this coupled system the canonical formalism for higher curvature supergravities is considered, it is possible to show that the propagation torsion mechanism takes place. Starting from the first-order formalism with the Hamiltonian that contains a finite number of terms including higher curvature ones, the non-polynomial structure of the second-order formalism of the supersymmetric transformation rules, as well as of the rheonomic equations, can be shown. This fact allows us to relate the higher curvature Hamiltonian formalism with the massless sector of effective superstring theories.
