Generalized holonomy of M-theory vacua Original Research Article

The number of M-theory vacuum supersymmetries, image, is given by the number of singlets appearing in the decomposition of the 32 of image under image where image is the holonomy group of the generalized connection which incorporates non-vanishing 4-form. Here we compute this generalized holonomy for the image examples of the M2-brane, M5-brane, M-wave, M-monopole, for a variety of their image intersections and also for the image pp-waves.
