Coupling supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories to supergravity
Abstract
We extend the technique of Cremmer et al. to couple arbitrary chiral multiplets with supersymmetric Yang-Mills interactions to N = 1 supergravity. We present the general form of the lagrangian and the detailed form of the scalar potential is spelled out. In the case of N chiral multiplets, ``minimally'' coupled to supergravity, we derive, in the absence of gauge interactions, a model-independent mass formula Supertrace M2 = ΣJ(-)2J(2J + 1)mJ2 = 2(N - 1)m3/22, where m3/2 is the gravitino mass. A concrete example of the super Higgs effect involving N chiral multiplets is exhibited.
