We construct a supergravity-Maxwell theory with a novel embedding of the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term, leading to spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The gauging of the R-symmetry is not required and a gravitino mass is allowed for a generic vacuum. When matter couplings are introduced, an uplift through a positive definite contribution to the scalar potential is obtained. We observe a notable similarity to the D3 uplift constructions and we give a natural description in terms of constrained multiplets.
We consider the swampland distance and de Sitter conjectures, of respective order one parameters λ and c. Inspired by the recent Trans-Planckian Censorship conjecture (TCC), we propose a generalization of the distance conjecture, which bounds λ to be a half of the TCC bound for c, i.e. $$ \lambda \ge \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} $$ λ ≥ 1 2 2 3 in 4d. In addition, we propose a correspondence between the two conjectures, relating the tower mass m on the one side to the scalar 1 potential V on the other side schematically as $$ m\sim {\left|V\right|}^{\frac{1}{2}} $$ m ∼ V 1 2 , in the large distance limit. These proposals suggest a generalization of the scalar weak gravity conjecture, and are supported by a variety of examples. The lower bound on λ is verified explicitly in many cases in the literature. The TCC bound on c is checked as well on ten different no-go theorems, which are worked-out in detail, and V is analysed in the asymptotic limit. In particular, new results on 4d scalar potentials from type II compactifications are obtained.
We study field theories with N extended non-linearly realized supersymmetries, describing the couplings of models that contain N goldstini. We review all the known formulations of the N = 1 goldstino theories and we generalize them to an arbitrary number N of non-linearly realized supersymmetries. We explicitly prove the equivalence of all these extended supersymmetry breaking models containing N goldstini and reformulate the theory with N supersymmetries in terms of standard N = 1 constrained superfields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
