Minimal supergravity models of inflation [PDF]
We present a superconformal master action for a class of supergravity models with one arbitrary function defining the Jordan frame. It leads to a gauge-invariant action for a real vector multiplet, which upon gauge fixing describes a massive vector multiplet, or to a dual formulation with a linear multiplet and a massive tensor field. In both cases the

Quintessence models in supergravity [PDF]
Scalar field models of quintessence typically require that the expectation value of the field today is of order the Planck mass, if we want them to explain the observed acceleration of the Universe. This suggests that we should be considering models in the context of supergravity.

Tree level supergravity and the Matrix model [PDF]
It has recently been shown that the Matrix model and supergravity give the same predictions for three graviton scattering. This contradicts an earlier claim in the literature (hep-th/9710174). We explain the error in this earlier work, and go on to show that certain terms in the $n$-graviton scattering amplitude involving $v^{2n}$ are given correctly ...

Fine-tuning constraints on supergravity models [PDF]
We discuss fine-tuning constraints on supergravity models. The tightest constraints come from the experimental mass limits on two key particles: the lightest CP even Higgs boson and the gluino. We also include the lightest chargino which is relevant when universal gaugino masses are assumed. For each of these particles we show how fine-tuning increases

Updated Constraints on the Minimal Supergravity Model [PDF]
Recently, refinements have been made on both the theoretical and experimental determinations of the i.) mass of the lightest Higgs scalar, ii.) relic density of cold dark matter in the universe, iii.) branching fraction for radiative B decay BF(b \to s ), iv.) muon anomalous magnetic moment, and v.) flavor violating decay B_s \to ^+ ^-.

Testing primordial black holes as dark matter in supergravity from gravitational waves
We explore the Gravitational Waves (GW) phenomenology of a simple class of supergravity models that can explain and unify inflation and Primordial Black Holes (PBH) as Dark Matter (DM).

Component decompositions and adynkra libraries for supermultiplets in lower dimensional superspaces
We present Adynkra Libraries that can be used to explore the embedding of multiplets of component field (whether on-shell or partial on-shell) within Salam-Strathdee superfields for theories in dimension nine through four.

Supergravities and branes from Hilbert-Poincaré series
The Molien-Weyl integral formula and the Hilbert-Poincaré series have proven to be powerful mathematical tools in relation to gauge theories, allowing to count the number of gauge invariant operators.

Within the framework of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 anti-de Sitter (AdS) supersymmetry in four dimensions, we derive superspin projection operators (or superprojectors). For a tensor superfield V α m α ⋅ n ≔ V α 1 … αm α ⋅ 1 … α ⋅ n $$ {\mathfrak{V}}_{\alpha
