The general structure of the scalar cosets of the Maxwell-Einstein supergravities is given. Following an introduction of the non-linear coset formalism of the supergravity theories a comparison of the coset algebras of the Maxwell-Einstein supergravities in various dimensions is discussed.
For the symmetric space sigma model in the internal metric formalism we explicitly construct the lagrangian in terms of the axions and the dilatons of the solvable Lie algebra gauge and then we exactly derive the axion-dilaton field equations.
The general non-split scalar coset of supergravity theories is discussed.The symmetric space sigma model is studied in two equivalent formulations and for different coset parametrizations.The dualisation and the local first order formulation is performed for the non-split scalar coset G/K when the rigid symmetry group G is a real form of a non-compact semisimple Lie group (not necessarily split) and the local symmetry group K is G's maximal compact subgroup.A comparison with the scalar cosets arising in the T^{10-D}-compactification of the heterotic string theory in ten dimensions is also mentioned.
The first-order formulation of the Salam-Sezgin D=8 supergravity coupled to N vector multiplets is discussed. The non-linear realization of the bosonic sector of the D=8 matter coupled Salam-Sezgin supergravity is introduced by the dualisation of the fields and by constructing the Lie superalgebra of the symmetry group of the doubled field strength.
