Yang-Mills--Einstein supergravity in seven dimensions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We construct couplings of n vector multiplets to seven-dimensional N = 2 supergravity. The 3n scalars of the theory parametrize the coset SO(n,3)/SO(n) x SO(3). The (n+3) vector fields are used to gauge either an SO(3) x H (dimension H = n) or an SO(3,1) x H (dim H = n-3)= subgroup of SO(n,3). The theory has an indefinite potential which triggers compactification into (Minkowski)/sub 4/ x S/sup 3/, with surviving N = 1 supersymmetry.
