The 2D Volkov-Akulov model as a deformation
Niccolò Cribiori, Fotis Farakos, Rikard von Unge
We show that the two-dimensional Volkov-Akulov action that describes the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry is a deformation of a free fermionic theory. Our…
New Fayet-Iliopoulos terms in supergravity
Ignatios Antoniadis, Jean-Pierre Derendinger, Fotis Farakos +1
We present a new type of Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms in supergravity that do not require the gauging of the -symmetry. We elaborate on the impact of such terms…
Aspects of the new Fayet-Iliopoulos terms
Fotis Farakos
We review the properties of the new type of Fayet-Iliopoulos terms that do not require the gauging of the R-symmetry when embedded in N=1 supergravity, and we discuss recent develo…
Runaway potentials and a massive goldstino
Fotis Farakos
We study N=1 globally supersymmetric theories on runaway backgrounds arising from scalar potentials with a slope characterized by a scale . We find that, under mild ass…
