Supersymmetric, fermionic solutions in three-dimensional supergravity
N. Houston
Building upon known supersymmetric backgrounds, we derive novel half-BPS fermionic solutions in three-dimensional supergravity. By virtue of an essential dependence on fermionic de…
Fermionic instantons
N. Houston
We demonstrate the existence of a broad class of non-perturbative fermionic solutions to the Euclidean supergravity equations of motion, which are half-BPS and nonsingular, possess…
Gravitino condensation, supersymmetry breaking and inflation
N. Houston
Motivated by dualistic considerations of the reality of quark condensation in quantum chromodynamics, and the connections of supergravity to the exotic physics of string and M-theo…
Dynamical Supergravity Breaking via the Super-Higgs Effect Revisited
Jean Alexandre, Nick Houston, Nick E. Mavromatos
We investigate the dynamical breaking of local supersymmetry (supergravity), including the Deser-Zumino super-Higgs effect, via the corresponding one-loop effective potential for t…
