Symmetric Spaces in Supergravity

Understand

We exploit the relation among irreducible Riemannian globally symmetric spaces (IRGS) and supergravity theories in 3, 4 and 5 space-time dimensions.

• IRGS appear as scalar manifolds of the theories, as well as moduli spaces of the various classes of solutions to the classical extremal black hole Attractor Equations.
• Relations with Jordan algebras of degree three and four are also outlined.
