    Gauged extended supergravity without cosmological constant: no-scale structure and supersymmetry breaking

    Get PDF
    We consider the interplay of duality symmetries and gauged isometries of supergravity models giving N-extended, spontaneously broken supergravity with a no-scale structure. Some examples, motivated by superstring and M-theory compactifications are described.Comment: AMS-LaTeX, 16 pages. Invited paper to appear in the review section of the IJMP

    N=4 gauged supergravity and a IIB orientifold with fluxes

    Get PDF
    We analyze the properties of a spontaneously broken D=4, N=4 supergravity without cosmological constant, obtained by gauging translational isometries of its classical scalar manifold. This theory offers a suitable low energy description of the super-Higgs phases of certain Type-IIB orientifold compactifications with 3-form fluxes turned on. We study its N=3,2,1,0 phases and their classical moduli spaces and we show that this theory is an example of no-scale extended supergravity.Comment: Misprints corrected.
