Supersymmetry and supergravity: Phenomenology and grand unification [PDF]
A survey is given of supersymmetry and supergravity and their phenomenology. Some of the topics discussed are the basic ideas of global supersymmetry, the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and its phenomenology, the basic ideas of local ...

The textbook N=1 supergravity has an F-term potential depending on a superpotential W (z i ) and a Kähler potential K z i z ¯ i ¯ $$ K\left({z}^i,{\overline{z}}^{\overline{i}}\right) $$ , with the scalar potential V z i z ¯ i ¯ $$ V\left({z}^i,{\overline{

Off-shell N = 2 → N = 1 reduction in 4D conformal supergravity
We discuss N = 2 → N = 1 reduction in four dimensional conformal supergravity. In particular, we keep the off-shell structure of supermultiplets (except hypermultiplets).

Abstract The unification of conformal and fuzzy gravities with internal interactions is based on the facts that i) the tangent group of a curved manifold and the manifold itself do not necessarily have the same dimensions and ii) both gravitational theories considered here have been formulated in a gauge theoretic way.

Higher Curvature Supergravity, Supersymmetry Breaking and Inflation
In these lectures, after a short introduction to cosmology, we discuss the supergravity embedding of higher curvature models of inflation. The supergravity description of such models is presented for the two different formulations of minimal supergravity.

F-term multi-field inflation in supergravity without stabiliser superfields
Realising F -term slow-roll inflation in supergravity is non-trivial due to the well-known η-problem. The common strategy to solve the problem is to impose a shift symmetry on the Kähler potential, but this often leads to a negative potential in the ...

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...

Supergravity with eight supercharges in a four-dimensional Euclidean space is constructed at the full non-linear level by performing an off-shell time-like reduction of five-dimensional supergravity.

Newton-Cartan supergravity with torsion and Schrödinger supergravity [PDF]
We derive a torsionfull version of three-dimensional N=2 Newton-Cartan supergravity using a non-relativistic notion of the superconformal tensor calculus.

Sen's mechanism for self-dual super Maxwell theory
In several elementary particle scenarios, self-dual fields emerge as fundamental degrees of freedom. Some examples are the D=2 chiral boson, D=10 Type IIB supergravity, and D=6 chiral tensor multiplet theory.
