Superstring-inspired supergravity models

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We find an explicit and general formula for the Kähler potential of a broad class ofN=1 supergravity models based on symmetric spaces which exhibit a no-scale structure. Both the main features and the low-energy physics emerging from these models are studied. Their relevance, in the context of superstring theories, is also discussed.
