Supergravity as the messenger of supersymmetry breaking
Abstract
A systematic study is made of theories in which supergravity is spontaneously broken in a "hidden" sector of superfields that interact with ordinary matter only through supergravity. General rules are given for calculating the low-energy effective potential in such theories. This potential is given as the sum of ordinary supersymmetric terms involving a low-energy effective superpotential whose mass terms arise from integrating out the heavy particles associated with grand unification, plus supersymmetry-breaking terms that depend on the details of the hidden sector and the K\"ahler potential only through the values of four small complex mass parameters. The result is not the same as would be obtained by ignoring grand unification and inserting small mass parameters into the superpotential from the beginning. The general results are applied to a class of models with a pair of Higgs doublets.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
