Abstract:
The use of additional timelike dimensions makes it possible, as Aref'eva,
Volovich, and Dragovic have shown, to obtain spontaneous compactification
of $d=11$ supergravity with zero cosmological constant. For the vacuum
solution that they obtained the sector of massless Fermi fields is
studied, and the existence of chiral fermions is proved.
