Massless type IIA supergravity is the nonchiral ten-dimensional maximal supergravity with metric, Kalb–Ramond field, dilaton, Ramond-Ramond one-form and three-form potentials, two opposite-chirality Majorana-Weyl gravitini, and two opposite-chirality Majorana-Weyl dilatini. Its massless spectrum has bosonic and fermionic polarizations. The two supercharges have opposite ten-dimensional chirality.
The zero-form field strength deforms massless type IIA supergravity. A D8-brane changes this flux across its worldvolume; it is therefore outside the elementary massless M-theory circle duality dictionary.
