Casimir Energy and Vacua for Superconducting Ball in Supergravity
Casimir energy for solid conducting ball is considered on the base of some finite models. One model is physical and built of a battery of parallel metallic plates. Two finite models are based on the Higgs model of superconductivity. One of them is supersymmetric and based on the Witten field model for superconducting strings. Treatment shows that contribution of Casimir energy can be very essen...
متن کاملKähler Anomalies in Supergravity and Flux Vacua
We review the subject of Kähler anomalies in gauged supergravity, emphasizing that field equations are inconsistent when the Kähler potential is non-invariant under gauge transformations or when there are elementary Fayet-Iliopoulos couplings. Flux vacua solutions of string theory with gauged U(1) shift symmetries appear to avoid this problem. The covariant Kähler anomalies involve tensors whic...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant, False Vacua, and Axions
It is suggested that the true ground state of the world has exactly vanishing vacuum energy and that the cosmological constant that seems to have been observed is due to our region of the universe being stuck in a false vacuum, whose energy is split from the true vacuum by non-renormalizable operators that are suppressed by powers of the Planck scale. It is shown that conventional invisible axi...
متن کاملOn Low-Energy Theory from General Supergravity
Starting from non-minimal supergravity theory with unified gauge symmetry, we obtain the low-energy effective theory by taking the flat limit and integrating out the superheavy fields in a model-independent manner. The scalar potential has extra non-universal contributions to soft supersymmetry breaking terms which can give an impact on phenomenological study. 1 Talk presented at YKIS’95, Kyoto...
متن کاملHow Vacuous Is Vacuous?
Model-checking gained wide popularity for analyzing software and hardware systems. However, even when the desired property holds, the property or the model may still require fixing. For example, a property φ: “on all paths, a request is followed by an acknowledgment”, may hold because no requests have been generated. Vacuity detection has been proposed to address the above problem. This techniq...
