Abstract

N = 4 supergravity theory has been formulated in two different equivalent forms, which may be expected to become inequivalent when the internal symmetry is gauged. The extension of the first form to include local SO(4) internal symmetry is known. In this paper the extension of the second form to local SU(2) × SU(2) invariance is given, and is indeed inequivalent to the first form. The second form is in general parity non-conserving, while both forms have scalar field potentials that are unbounded from below.

Symmetry study of a novel integrable supersymmetric dispersionless system
2024, Applied Mathematics Letters
A novel integrable supersymmetric dispersionless fermion system is proposed and studied by means of symmetry approach and the bosonization method, which is integrable under the meaning of possessing infinitely many higher order symmetries. It is shown that there are some types of infinitely many symmetries with arbitrary functions. The first type of infinitely many symmetries commutes each other, whereas the second type of higher order symmetries with arbitrary functions are not commutable and the commutators yield new higher order symmetries. By using the bosonization approach, the system can be bosonized to some special dark integrable systems which can be exactly solved in general.
Gauged supergravities
2017, Physics Reports
Citation Excerpt :
The way in which the notion of gauged supergravities has been introduced in our discussion should not lead the reader to the incorrect conclusion that these models were first derived from flux-compactifications. Historically the very first instances of gauged extended supergravities were constructed soon after the discovery of supergravity itself, see for instance [147–149]. These early examples already exhibited some of the generic features of this type of locally supersymmetric models such as fermion masses, spontaneous supersymmetry breaking and a scalar potential (or a cosmological constant when scalars were not present).
We give a general review of extended supergravities and their gauging using the duality-covariant embedding tensor formalism. Although the focus is on four-dimensional theories, an overview of the gauging procedure and the related tensor hierarchy in the higher-dimensional models is given. The relation of gauged supergravities to flux compactifications is discussed and examples are worked out in detail.
The Rubakov-Callan scattering on the supergravity monopole
2011, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
We study small perturbations around the supersymmetric CVMN monopole solution of the gauged supergravity in $D = 4$ . We find that the perturbation spectrum contains an infinite tower of Coulomb-type bound states both in the bosonic and fermionic parts of the supergravity multiplet. Due to supersymmetry, the eigenvalues are the same for the two bosonic parity sectors, as well as for the fermionic sector. We also find that the fermion scattering on the monopole is accompanied by isospin flip. This is analogous to the Rubakov–Callan effect of monopole catalysis of proton decay and suggests that there could be a similar effect of catalysis for decay of fermionic systems in supergravity.
