C Auxiliary Information About Some Superalgebras

On the other hand we find that C γ0 = i1. Hence the Majorana condition becomes:

iψ = ψ

(C.3.9)

so that a Majorana spinor is just a real spinor multiplied by an overall phase

exp[−i π4 ].

(x = 1, . . . , 4) be a set of (commuting)

 

These conventions being fixed let χx

Majorana spinors normalized in the following way:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

χx = C

Then by explicit evaluation we can verify the following Fierz identity:

γ abχz

 

x γ5γabχy γa γ5χz

 

 

x γa χy = −2i (Cγ5)zx χy + (Cγ5)zy χx

(C.3.11)

Another identity which we can prove by direct evaluation is the following one:

χx γ5γabχy χ zγ bχt χ zγ5γabχt χ x γ bχy

=i χ x γa χt (C γ5)yz + χ y γa χt (C γ5)xz + χ x γa χz(C γ5)yt + χ y γa χz(C γ5)xt

(C.3.12)

Finally let us mention some relevant formulae for the derivation of the AdS4 × P3 compactification. With the above conventions we find:

 

 

γ0γ1γ2γ3 = iγ5

(C.3.13)

and if we fix the convention:

 

 

we obtain:

ε0123 = +1

(C.3.14)

C.4 An so(6) Inversion Formula

In order to discuss the conversion of supergravity forms into MC forms of the supercoset a key role is played by an inversion formula which we utilize in the main text and we discuss in this appendix. Let us define the following set of 6 × 6 matrices:

 

ABα

ηAT τ α ηB

 

τ

 

 

ABαβ

= ηAT τ αβ ηB

(C.4.1)
