N=2 Super-Higgs, N=1 Poincare' Vacua and Quaternionic Geometry
L. Andrianopoli, R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara +1
In the context of N=2 supergravity we explain the occurrence of partial super-Higgs with vanishing vacuum energy and moduli stabilization in a model suggested by superstring compac…
Gauged extended supergravity without cosmological constant: no-scale structure and supersymmetry breaking
L. Andrianopoli, R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara +1
We consider the interplay of duality symmetries and gauged isometries of supergravity models giving N-extended, spontaneously broken supergravity with a no-scale structure. Some ex…
Duality and Spontaneously Broken Supergravity in Flat Backgrounds
L. Andrianopoli, R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara +1
It is shown that the super Higgs mechanism that occurs in a wide class of models with vanishing cosmological constant (at the classical level) is obtained by the gauging of a flat…
Gauging of Flat Groups in Four Dimensional Supergravity
L. Andrianopoli, R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara +1
We show that N=8 spontaneously broken supergravity in four dimensions obtained by Scherk-Schwarz generalized dimensional reduction can be obtained from a pure four dimensional pers…
On the Super Higgs Effect in Extended Supergravity
L. Andrianopoli, R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara +1
We consider the reduction of supersymmetry in N-extended four dimensional supergravity via the super Higgs mechanism in theories without cosmological constant. We provide an analys…
