Obtaining the Einstein-Hilbert action from a superconformal theory

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6139117
By breaking the superconformal group it is possible to obtain an Einstein-Hilbert type action starting from one quadratic in the curvatures. The Newtonian gravitational constant is interpreted as a ratio of order parameters; at present low energies, these approach constant values of inherent dimension (much like the magnetization in a ferromagnet). Radiative corrections are forwarded as the mechanism responsible for S.S.B. 12 refs.
