Abstract

We show that the total energy in supergravity theory is nonnegative. The derivation is based on the fact that for bounded systems the Hamiltonian operator is the square of the spinor supercharge just as for globally supersymmetric systems. The result holds for any of the pure, matter-coupled, or extended versions of supergravity, except those with cosmological term for which the concept of total energy does not exist.

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.
