Nonlinear Realization and Hidden Local Symmetries
TL;DR: The idea of dynamical gauge bosons of hidden local symmetries in nonlinear sigma models is reviewed in this article, where it is shown that any nonlinear Sigma model based on the manifold G/H is gauge equivalent to a linear model possessing a Gglobal × Hlocal symmetry, Hlocal being a hidden local symmetry.

On the Starobinsky model of inflation from supergravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the Starobinsky model is shown to be equivalent to standard supergravity coupled to a massive vector multiplet whose lowest scalar component plays the role of the inflaton and the vacuum energy is provided by a D-term potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher derivative supergravity is equivalent to standard supergravity coupled to matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the equivalence of R+αR2 gravity with the Einstein theory coupled to a scalar field with specified non-linear self-couplings was shown to be equivalent to standard supergravity coupled to two chiral multiplets.

Supersymmetry on Curved Spaces and Holography
Claudius Klare,Claudius Klare,Alessandro Tomasiello,Alessandro Tomasiello,Alberto Zaffaroni,Alberto Zaffaroni +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied superconformal and supersymmetric theories on Euclidean four-and threemanifolds with a view toward holographic applications, and they showed that supersymmetry for asymptotically locally AdS solutions implies the existence of a (charged) "conformality Killing spinor" on the boundary.

Supergravity couplings: a geometric formulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a pedagogical introduction to the description of supergravity/matter/Yang-Mills couplings using methods of Kahler superspace geometry is provided and generalized to include tensor field and Chern-Simons couplings in supersymmetry and supergravity.

Extended conformal supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, the complete structure of extended conformal supergravity for N ⩽4 is presented, and the relation with the graded algebra SU(2, 2| N ) and with the multiplet of currents is discussed.

The auxiliary fields of supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, the minimal set of auxiliary fields of supergravity is defined, needed to close the supergravity algebra, and the invariant action is shown to be invariant to a scalar, a pseudoscalar and a world vector field.
