Supergravity in four and five dimensions

Creators

Description

We review supergravity in the 'old minimal' approach and in the compensator formalism where we can express the gravitational multiplet in terms of unconstrained superfields (prepotentials). We find the same scalar potential in both cases. We comment on several mechanisms of supersymmetry and supergravity breaking with particular emphasis on the five-dimensional orbifold models. (orig.)
