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…
The rigid limit of N=2 supergravity
Bobby E. Gunara, Jan Louis, Paul Smyth +2
In this paper we review the rigid limit of N=2 supergravity coupled to vector and hypermultiplets. In particular we show how the respective scalar field spaces reduce to their glob…
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…
Electrically gauged N=4 supergravities in D=4 with N=2 vacua
Christoph Horst, Jan Louis, Paul Smyth
We study N=2 vacua in spontaneously broken N=4 electrically gauged supergravities in four space-time dimensions. We argue that the classification of all such solutions amounts to s…
Metastable spontaneous breaking of N=2 supersymmetry
Benoit Legeret, Claudio A. Scrucca, Paul Smyth
We show that contrary to the common lore it is possible to spontaneously break N=2 supersymmetry even in simple theories without constant Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. We consider the mo…
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…
