Eleven dimensional supergravity in light cone gauge

Abstract

Light-cone gauge manifestly supersymmetric formulation of eleven dimensional supergravity is developed. The formulation is given entirely in terms of light cone scalar superfield, allowing us to treat all component fields on an equal footing. All higher derivative on mass shell manifestly supersymmetric 4-point functions invariant with respect to linear supersymmetry transformations and corresponding (in gravitational bosonic sector) to terms constructed from four Riemann tensors and derivatives are found. Superspace representation for 4-point scattering amplitudes is also obtained. Superfield representation of linearized interaction vertex of superparticle and supergravity fields is presented. All 4-point higher derivative interaction vertices of ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are also determined.
