Five-Dimensional Gauged Supergravity and Supersymmetry Breaking in $M$~Theory

TL;DR

This paper extends five-dimensional gauged supergravity derived from M-theory compactification to include non-universal matter hypermultiplets, analyzing supersymmetry breaking effects and their implications for observable physics.

Contribution

It introduces a formulation that incorporates non-universal matter hypermultiplets into five-dimensional gauged supergravity from M-theory compactification.

Findings

Only graviton supermultiplets and matter hypermultiplets couple to supersymmetry breaking sources.

Supersymmetry breaking on the observable wall is a mix of dilaton- and moduli-dominated scenarios.

Abstract

We extend the formulation of gauged supergravity in five dimensions, as obtained by compactification of $M$~theory on a deformed Calabi-Yau manifold, to include non-universal matter hypermultiplets. Even in the presence of this gauging, only the graviton supermultiplets and matter hypermultiplets can couple to supersymmetry breaking sources on the walls, though these mix with vector supermultiplets in the bulk. Whatever the source of supersymmetry breaking on the hidden wall, that on the observable wall is in general a combination of dilaton- and moduli-dominated scenarios.
