Conical Singularities in Three or Four-Dimensions and Supersymmetry Breaking

Abstract

We present mechanisms for generating conical singularities both in three and four-dimensions in the systems with copies of scalar or chiral multiplets coupled to $N=2$ or $N=1$ supergravity. Our mechanisms are useful for supersymmetry breaking, maintaining the zero cosmological constants in three and four-dimensions. A strong coupling duality connecting these two dimensionalities is also studied.
