Two-Dimensional Higher-Derivative Supergravity and a New Mechanism for Supersymmetry Breaking

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v5 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We discuss the general form of quadratic (1,1) supergravity in two dimensions, and show that this theory is equivalent to two scalar supermultiplets coupled to non-trivial supergravity. It is demonstrated that the theory possesses stable vacua with vanishing cosmological constant which spontaneously break supersymmetry.
