Description
Using the parallelizing S7 torsion as an ansatz we investigate two solutions of gauged N = 8 supergravity with SO(7) invariance. Supersymmetry is uniformly broken. We calculate the masses for these solutions which are both unstable. Certain apparent discrepancies with the results obtained by spontaneous compactification of d = 11 supergravity are discussed. We establish that the compactification on the parallelized S7 has an SO(7) invariance and clarify the issue of supersymmetry breaking. The lack of stability in d = 4 indicates that this d = 11 solution is unstable. (orig.)
