1207.2785 (James T. Liu et al.)

Rigid Supersymmetric Backgrounds of Minimal Off-Shell Supergravity    [PDF]

James T. Liu, Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas, Dori Reichmann
We discuss various aspects of rigid supersymmetry within minimal N=1 off-shell supergravity using the old and new minimal formulations both in Lorentzian and Euclidean signatures. In particular, we construct all rigid supersymmetry backgrounds with a hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector. In the Lorentzian signature we show that AdS_4 provides a rigid supersymmetric background in both formulations albeit with different amounts of preserved supersymmetry. In the Euclidean signature we find new backgrounds of the old-minimal supergravity, including squashed four-spheres and a half-BPS version of flat space.
