Cosmological Constant and Supergravity Soft Terms [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 1994
In supergravity models, the quantum correction to the vacuum energy can be of order $M_I^4$, if the cutoff is of order the Planck mass $M^2_{P}$ and $Str\ {\cal M}^2\ne 0$. Therefore, the tree level cosmological constant must be nonzero (probably negative).

Some recent results for SU(3) and octonions within the geometric algebra approach to the fundamental forces of nature

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 1471-1491, February 2024.
Different ways of representing the group SU(3)$$ SU(3) $$ within a Geometric Algebra approach are explored. As part of this, we consider characteristic multivectors for SU(3)$$ SU(3) $$ and how these are linked with decomposition of generators into commuting bivectors. The setting for this work is within a 6d Euclidean Clifford Algebra.

Supersymmetric minisuperspace with non-vanishing fermion number [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The Lagrangean of $N=1$ supergravity is dimensionally reduced to one (time-like) dimension assuming spatial homogeneity of any Bianchi type within class A of the classification of Ellis and McCallum.

Octonionic Magical Supergravity, Niemeier Lattices, and Exceptional & Hilbert Modular Forms

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 72, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract The quantum degeneracies of Bogomolny‐Prasad‐Sommerfield (BPS) black holes of octonionic magical supergravity in five dimensions are studied. Quantum degeneracy is defined purely number theoretically as the number of distinct states in charge space with a given set of invariant labels.

Evolutionary Algorithms for Multi‐Center Solutions

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 72, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Large classes of multi‐center supergravity solutions have been constructed in the study of supersymmetric black holes and their microstates. Many smooth multi‐center solutions have the same charges as supersymmetric black holes, with all centers deep inside a long black‐hole‐like throat.

Unification of Gravity and Internal Interactions

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract In the gauge theoretic approach of gravity, general relativity is described by gauging the symmetry of the tangent manifold in four dimensions. Usually the dimension of the tangent space is considered to be equal to the dimension of the curved manifold. However, the tangent group of a manifold of dimension d is not necessarily SOd$SO_d$.

Flux quantization on 11-dimensional superspace

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
Flux quantization of the C-field in 11d supergravity is arguably necessary for the (UV-)completion of the theory, in that it determines the torsion charges carried by small numbers N ≪ ∞ of M-branes.

Coupling Supersymmetric Nonlinear Sigma Models to Supergravity

open access: yes, 2010
It is known that supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models for the compact Kahler manifolds G/H cannot be consistently coupled to supergravity, since the Kahler potentials are not invariant under the G transformation.

dS vacua and the swampland

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
In this note we revisit some of the recent 10d and 4d arguments suggesting that the uplifting of supersymmetric AdS vacua leads to a flattening of the potential, preventing the formation of dS vacua.
