One-loop divergences in simple supergravity: Boundary effects.
This paper studies the semiclassical approximation of simple supergravity in Riemannian four-manifolds with boundary, within the framework of ζfunction regularization. The massless nature of gravitinos, jointly with the presence of a boundary and a local description in terms of potentials for spin 3 2 , force the background to be totally flat. First, nonlocal boundary conditions of the spectral...
متن کاملDestabilizing Divergences in Supergravity Theories
We study the stability of the gauge hierarchy in hidden-sector supergravity theories. We show that a destabilizing tadpole can appear if a theory has a gaugeand global-symmetry singlet with renormalizable couplings to the visible fields. We also find a quadratically divergent two-loop contribution to the supersymmetric effective potential. This term illustrates the difficulty of using the “LHC ...
متن کاملHigher spin N = 8 supergravity
The product of two N = 8 supersingletons yields an infinite tower of massless states of higher spin in four dimensional anti de Sitter space. All the states with spin s ≥ 1 correspond to generators of Vasiliev’s super higher spin algebra shsE(8|4) which contains the D = 4, N = 8 anti de Sitter superalgebra OSp(8|4). Gauging the higher spin algebra and introducing a matter multiplet in a quasi-a...
متن کاملN = 8 Supergravity on the Light Cone
We construct the generating functional for the light-cone superfield amplitudes in a chiral momentum superspace. It generates the n-point particle amplitudes which on shell are equivalent to the covariant ones. Based on the action depending on unconstrained light-cone chiral scalar superfield, this functional provides a regular d=4 QFT path integral derivation of the Nair-type amplitude constru...
متن کاملN = 8 Supergravity 4 - point Amplitudes
We present the explicit expressions in N=8 supergravity for the bosonic 4-particle tree and 1-loop amplitudes including vectors and scalars. We also present the candidate 4point UV divergences in a form of helicity amplitudes, corresponding to 3-loop manifestly N=8 supersymmetric and Lorentz covariant counterterm. This may shed some light on the 3-loop finiteness of N=8 SG and on a conjectured ...
