Mass generation and symmetry breaking in Chern-Simons supergravity

  • 1. Departamento de Fisica, Pontificia Universidad, Catolica de Chile, Casilla 306, Santiago 22 (Chile)

Description

We argue that the quartic fermionic potential of five-dimensional Chern-Simons supergravity induces spontaneous symmetry breaking, in a phenomenon bearing a close connection with the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model
