Sergio Ferrara
TL;DR
This paper explores how no-scale supergravity models derived from string and M-theory flux compactifications utilize gauged axion symmetries to facilitate Higgs and superHiggs mechanisms, impacting supersymmetry breaking.
Contribution
It highlights the significance of gauging axion symmetries in the context of string and M-theory compactifications for understanding superHiggs effects.
Findings
Gauging axion symmetries is crucial for the Higgs and superHiggs mechanisms.
Flux compactifications lead to no-scale supergravity models.
The role of duality and gauging in supersymmetry breaking is emphasized.
Abstract
We consider no-scale extended supergravity models as they arise from string and M-theory compactifications in presence of fluxes. The special role of gauging axion symmetries for the Higgs and superHiggs mechanism is outlined.
