Description

I review an effective method to find vacua of gauged supergravity and apply it to the maximal theory in four dimensions. This leads in particular to new Anti de Sitter and Minkowski vacua with broken supersymmetry, as well as new gauge theories. Interesting links between different gaugings, their vacuum solutions and the stability properties as well as the allowed values of the cosmological constant are outlined.
