The off-shell one-loop effective action is obtained for d = 5, N = 2 and 8 gauged supergravities on the gravitational background R/sub 4/ x S/sub 1/ (R/sub 4/ and S/sub 1/ are four-dimensional flat space and the one-dimensional sphere) with a constant scalar field. The structure of the gauge dependence of the effective action is studied. The effective action for d = 4, N = 4 gauged supergravity on the space R/sub 3/ x S/sub 1/ with nontrivial topology is also found. The question of the possibility of spontaneous compactification induced by quantum effects in d = 5 gauged supergravities is discussed.
