Abstract

We construct a generalized BF theory in superspace that can embed eleven-dimensional supergravity theory. Our topological BF theory can accommodate all the necessary Bianchi identities for teleparallel superspace supergravity in eleven dimensions, as the simplest but nontrivial solutions to superfield equations for our superspace action. This indicates that our theory may have solutions other than eleven-dimensional supergravity accommodating generalized theories of eleven-dimensional supergravity. Therefore, our topological theory can be a good candidate for the low-energy limit of M-theory, as an underlying fundamental theory providing a ‘missing link’ between the eleven-dimensional supergravity and M-theory.
