Maximal extended supergravity theory in seven dimensions Academic Article

abstract

• A maximal extended supergravity lagrangian is constructed in seven dimensions, which exhibits USp(4) SO(5) local and SL(5, R) global invariances. We find that the antisymmetric second rank tensor fields must possess a generalized gauge invariance in order that the theory is consistent and supersymmetric. We conjecture that the theory might admit SO(5) SO(5) Yang-Mills symmetries in d = 7 and SO(4) SO(5) SO(5) in d = 4 [with the last SO(5), gauging composite fields] after suitable compactification. 1982.
