Black-Hole Attractors in N=1 Supergravity
Laura Andrianopoli, Riccardo D'Auria, Sergio Ferrara +1
We study the attractor mechanism for N=1 supergravity coupled to vector and chiral multiplets and compute the attractor equations of these theories. These equations may have soluti…
On the coupling of tensors to gauge fields: D=5, N=2 supergravity revisited
Laura Andrianopoli, Riccardo D'Auria, Luca Sommovigo
A general free differential algebra encoding the anti-Higgs mechanism among two-index antisymmetric tensors and gauge vectors is analyzed at the full group theoretical level. N=2 s…
On the supergravity formulation of mirror symmetry in generalized Calabi-Yau manifolds
R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara, M. Trigiante
We derive the complete supergravity description of the N=2 scalar potential which realizes a generic flux-compactification on a Calabi-Yau manifold (generalized geometry). The effe…
Orientifolds, Brane Coordinates and Special Geometry
R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara, M. Trigiante
We report on the gauged supergravity analysis of Type IIB vacua on K3x T2/Z2 orientifold in the presence of D3-D7-branes and fluxes. We discuss supersymmetric critical points corre…
On the Embedding of Space-Time Symmetries into Simple Superalgebras
R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara, M. A. Lledo
We explore the embedding of Spin groups of arbitrary dimension and signature into simple superalgebras in the case of extended supersymmetry. The R-symmetry, which generically is n…
Supergravity Predictions on Conformal Field Theories
A. Ceresole, G. Dall'Agata, R. D'Auria +1
We give an update on recent results about the matching between CFT operators and KK states in the AdS/CFT correspondence, and add some new comments on the realization of the baryon…
