Scalar masses in general N=2 gauged supergravity theories
Francesca Catino, Claudio A. Scrucca, Paul Smyth
We readdress the question of whether any universal upper bound exists on the square mass m^2 of the lightest scalar around a supersymmetry breaking vacuum in generic N=2 gauged sup…
On the moduli space of spontaneously broken N = 8 supergravity
Francesca Catino, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Gianluca Inverso +1
We analyze the moduli space of spontaneously broken N=8 supergravity theories in 4 dimensions with classical Minkowski vacua. We find that all the known classical vacua, as well as…
Simple metastable de Sitter vacua in N=2 gauged supergravity
Francesca Catino, Claudio A. Scrucca, Paul Smyth
We construct a simple class of N=2 gauged supergravity theories that admit metastable de Sitter vacua, generalizing the recent work done in the context of rigid supersymmetry. The…
Metastable de Sitter vacua in N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravity
Francesca Catino, Claudio A. Scrucca, Paul Smyth
We study the possibility of achieving metastable de Sitter vacua in general N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravities without vector multiplets, and compare with the situations arising i…
On Fayet-Iliopoulos terms and de Sitter vacua in supergravity: some easy pieces
Francesca Catino, Giovanni Villadoro, Fabio Zwirner
We clarify a number of issues on Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms in supergravity, keeping the formalism at a minumum and making use of explicit examples. We explain why, if the U(1) ve…
On the large spin limit of twist operators in N=4 SYM
Francesca Catino, Matteo Beccaria
The long range Bethe Ansatz solution of the mixing problem in N=4 SYM allows to compute in a very efficient way multiloop anomalous dimensions of various composite operators. In th…
