Quantum Inconsistency of Einstein Supergravity
We show that N = 1, D = 4 Einstein-frame supergravity is inconsistent at one loop because of an anomaly in local supersymmetry transformations. A Jacobian must be added to the Einstein-frame Lagrangian to cancel this anomaly. We show how the Jacobian arises from the super-Weyl field redefinition that takes the superspace Lagrangian to the Einstein frame. We present an explicit example which dem...
متن کاملInconsistency of Canonically Quantized N=1 Supergravity? *
D'Eath's proof that there can be at most two allowed quantum states of N = 1 supergravity with zero or a finite number of fermions can be extended to show that there are no such states.
متن کاملTopological Objects in 5D Maxwell Einstein Supergravity
In this letter is shown that it is possible to obtain scalar hypersurfaces in 5D N=2 SUGRA where the allowed regions with positive definite scalar metric have a non-trivial topology. This situation may aid in the construction of domain wall solutions which confine gravity to 4 dimensions.
متن کاملYang-Mills/Einstein/Tensor Supergravity: Abelian Case
We give a detailed study of the critical points of the potentials of the simplest non-trivial N = 2 gauged Yang-Mills/Einstein supergravity theories with tensor multiplets. The scalar field target space of these examples is SO(1, 1)×SO(2, 1)/SO(2). The possible gauge groups are SO(2)×U(1)R and SO(1, 1) × U(1)R, where U(1)R is a subgroup of the R-symmetry group SU(2)R, and SO(2) and SO(1, 1) are...
متن کاملHolographic Formulation of Quantum Supergravity
We show that N = 1 supergravity with a cosmological constant can be expressed as constrained topological field theory based on the supergroup Osp(1|4). The theory is then extended to include timelike boundaries with finite spatial area. Consistent boundary conditions are found which induce a boundary theory based on a supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. The boundary state space is constructed f...
