A superfield constraint for N=2 --> N=0 breaking
E. Dudas, S. Ferrara, A. Sagnotti
We identify a cubic holomorphic constraint that subtends the total breaking of N=2 supersymmetry in a vector multiplet and exhibit its microscopic origin. The new constraint leaves…
D = 3 Unification of Curious Supergravities
M. J. Duff, S. Ferrara, A. Marrani
We consider the dimensional reduction to D = 3 of four maximal-rank supergravities which preserve minimal supersymmetry in D = 11, 7, 5 and 4. Such "curious" theories were investig…
Two-Field Born-Infeld with Diverse Dualities
S. Ferrara, A. Sagnotti, A. Yeranyan
We elaborate on how to build, in a systematic fashion, two-field Abelian extensions of the Born-Infeld Lagrangian. These models realize the non-trivial duality groups that are allo…
Supersymmetry and Inflation
S. Ferrara, A. Sagnotti
Theories with elementary scalar degrees of freedom seem nowadays required for simple descriptions of the Standard Model and of the Early Universe. It is then natural to embed theor…
Doubly Self-Dual Actions in Various Dimensions
S. Ferrara, A. Sagnotti, A. Yeranyan
The self-duality of the N=1 supersymmetric Born--Infeld action implies a double self-duality of the tensor multiplet square-root action when the scalar and the antisymmetric tensor…
Generalized Born--Infeld Actions and Projective Cubic Curves
S. Ferrara, M. Porrati, A. Sagnotti +2
We investigate supersymmetric Born-Infeld Lagrangians with a second non-linearly realized supersymmetry. The resulting non-linear structure is more complex than the sq…
