Description
We couple N=4, d=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to supergravity. The scalars of the theory parametrize the coset (SO(n,6)/[SO(n)xSO(6)])xSU(1,1)/U(1)). Keeping the composite local SO(n)xSO(6)xU(1) invariance intact, we gauge an (n+6) parameter subgroup of SO(n,6) which is either (i) SU(2)xSU(2)xH(dim H=n), (ii) SO(4,1)xH(dim H=n-4) or (iii) SO(6,1)xH(dim H=n-15). In all these cases the theory has an indefinite potential. (orig.)
