Abstract

. Using a unified formulation of N = 1, 2, 4, 8, super Yang-Mills theories in D = 3 spacetime dimensions with fields valued respectively in R, C, H, O, it was shown that tensoring left and right multiplets yields a Freudenthal magic square of D = 3 supergravities. When tied in with the more familiar R, C, H, O description of super Yang-Mills in D = 3, 4, 6, 10 this results in a magic pyramid of supergravities: the known 4 × 4 magic square at the base in D = 3, a 3 × 3 square in D = 4, a 2 × 2 square in D = 6 and Type II supergravity at the apex in D = 10.
