Abstract: (Elsevier)
We show that the monopoles of five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory, considered as solutions of the N = 8 supergravity theory in five dimensions, fit into the same supermultiplets as the original fields in that theory. We show that there is an electric-magnetic duality between these magnetic monopoles and the electrically charged antigravitating objects anticipated by Scherk. We formulate a Bogomolny inequality for N = 8 supergravity, and we speculate on the wider significance of these monopoles.- Kaluza-Klein model
