A condition of supersymmetric cosmological solutions of simple (N=1) supergravity is formulated in the classical case. As an application we prove that supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker type cosmologies as…
We consider minisuperspace models constituted of Bianchi I geometries with a free massless scalar field. The classical solutions are always singular (with the trivial exception of flat space-time), and always anisotropic once they begin…
Einstein's field equations with variable gravitational and cosmological ``constant'' are considered in presence of perfect fluid for Bianchi type-I spacetime. Consequences of the four cases of the phenomenological decay of $\Lambda$ have…
We take the general quantum constraints of N=1 supergravity in the special case of a Bianchi metric, with gravitino fields constant in the invariant basis. We construct the most general possible wave function which solves the Lorentz…
We propose and solve mathematically a simple euclidean model for quantum gravity in one dimension. In the case of an open curve, the continuum limit is trivial, that is, the size of the universe is infinite, independently of the value of…
The dynamics and evolution of Bianchi type I space-times is considered in the framework of the four-dimensional truncation of a reduced theory obtained from the N=2,D=5 supergravity. The general solution of the gravitational field equations…
Unlike a classical charged bosonic field, a classical charged fermion field on a static charged black hole does not exhibit superradiant scattering. We demonstrate that the quantum analogue of this classical process is however present. We…
The canonical quantization of $N=1$ and $N=2$ supergravity theories is reviewed in this report. A special emphasis is given to the topic of supersymmetric Bianchi class-A and FRW minisuperspaces, namely in the presence of supermatter…
Inserting a varying Lambda in Einstein's field equations can be made consistent with the Bianchi identities by allowing for torsion, without the need to add scalar field degrees of freedom. In the minimal such theory, Lambda is totally free…
We build the minimal supergravity model where the nilpotent chiral goldstino superfield is coupled to a chiral matter superfield, realising a different non-linear representation through a mixed nilpotency constraint. The model describes the…
Spatially homogeneous models in quantum supergravity with a nonvanishing cosmological constant are studied. A class of exact nontrivial solutions of the supersymmetry and Lorentz constraints is obtained in terms of the Chern-Simons action…
We prove the non-existence of new eigenvalues in $[0,\Lambda]$ for specific and random finite coverings of a complete and connected Riemannian manifold $M$ with Ricci curvature bounded from below, where $\Lambda$ is any positive number…
We derive the N=1 supersymmetric extension for a class of weakly nonlocal four dimensional gravitational theories.The construction is explicitly done in the superspace and the tree-level perturbative unitarity is explicitly proved both in…
We investigate the canonical quantization of supergravity N=1 in the case of a midisuperspace described by Gowdy $T^3$ cosmological models. The quantum constraints are analyzed and the wave function of the universe is derived explicitly.…
We derive the `exact' Newtonian limit of general relativity with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$. We point out that in contrast to the case with $\Lambda = 0 $, the presence of a positive $\Lambda$ in Einsteins's equations…
We show that requiring unbroken supersymmetry everywhere in black-hole-type solutions of N=2,d=4 supergravity coupled to vector supermultiplets ensures in most cases absence of naked singularities. We show that the requirement of global…
D'Eath's proof (hep-th/9304084) that there can be at most two allowed quantum states of N=1 supergravity with zero or a finite number of fermions can be extended to show that there are no such states.
We consider the simplest nontrivial supersymmetric quantum mechanical system involving higher derivatives. We unravel the existence of additional bosonic and fermionic integrals of motion forming a nontrivial algebra. This allows one to…
In this letter we study the effects of a noncommutative minisuperspace, including matter degrees of freedom on a FRW universe with cosmological constant. In this setting the vacuum energy density can be calculated to be of the same order as…
The d'Alembertian $\Box\phi=0$ has solution $\phi=f(v)/r$, where $f$ is a function of a null coordinate $v$, and this allows creation of a divergent singularity out of nothing. In scalar-Einstein theory a similar situation arises both for…
