S-duality, SL(2,Z) multiplets and Killing spinors

The S-duality transformations in type IIB string theory can be seen as local U(1) transformations in type IIB supergravity. We use this approach to construct the SL(2, Z) multiplets associated to supersymmetric backgrounds of type IIB string theory and the transformation laws of their corresponding...

Summary:The S-duality transformations in type IIB string theory can be seen as local U(1) transformations in type IIB supergravity. We use this approach to construct the SL(2, Z) multiplets associated to supersymmetric backgrounds of type IIB string theory and the transformation laws of their corresponding Killing spinors.
