Chromo-natural inflation in Supergravity [PDF]
We present supergravity realizations of chromo-natural inflationary models. We show that by using superpotentials with “imaginary” holomorphic functions of the inflaton one can obtain effective theories of inflation that are also consistent truncations ...

Bulk to Boundary Relation Between Topological Models and Supergravity Theories [PDF]
We establish a direct correspondence between certain higher-rank p-form Chern-Simons topological type theories in the bulk of a manifold with boundary and particular sectors of supergravity models on the boundary, provided that certain boundary conditions are satisfied.

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 ^+ ^-.

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

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 ...

Theoretical and experimental motivations behind supergravity grand unified models are described. The basic ideas of supergravity, and the origin of the soft breaking terms are reviewed. Effects of GUT thresholds and predictions arising from models possessing proton decay are discussed.

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

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.

AdS (super)projectors in three dimensions and partial masslessness
We derive the transverse projection operators for fields with arbitrary integer and half-integer spin on three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space, AdS3. The projectors are constructed in terms of the quadratic Casimir operators of the isometry group SO(2 ...
