We analyze the decay mode B(s)-->mu(+)mu(-) in minimal supergravity (mSUGRA). We find that the recently measured excess in (g-2)(mu), if interpreted within mSUGRA, is correlated with a substantial enhancement of the branching ratio Beta(B(s)-->mu(+)mu(-)): if (g-2)(mu) exceeds the standard model prediction by 4 x 10(-9), Beta(B(s)-->mu(+)mu(-)) is larger by a factor of 10-100 and within reach of Run-II of the Tevatron. Thus the search for B(s)-->mu(+)mu(-) is a stringent test of the GUT scale relations of mSUGRA. An observation of B(s)-->mu(+)mu(-) at the Tevatron implies a mass of the lightest SUSY Higgs boson below 120 GeV. B(s)-->mu(+)mu(-) can also significantly probe SO(10) SUSY GUT models.

Minimal massive gravity in three dimensions propagates a single massive spin-2 mode around an anti-de Sitter vacuum. It is distinguished by allowing for vacua with positive central charges of the asymptotic conformal algebra and a bulk graviton of positive energy. We present a new action for the model (and its higher order extensions) in terms of a dreibein and an independent spin connection.

We construct supersymmetric AdS_{3}×Σ solutions of minimal gauged supergravity in D=5, where Σ is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. Remarkably, these uplift on S^{5}, or more generally on any regular Sasaki-Einstein manifold, to smooth solutions of type IIB supergravity. The solutions are dual to d=2, N=(0,2) SCFTs and we show that the central charge for the gravity solution agrees with a field theory calculation associated with D3-branes wrapped on Σ.

We study four-derivative corrections to four-dimensional N=2 minimal gauged supergravity controlled by two real constants. The solutions of the equations of motion in the two-derivative theory are not modified by the higher-derivative corrections. We use this to derive a general formula for the regularized on-shell action for any asymptotically locally AdS_{4} solution of the theory and show how the higher-derivative corrections affect black hole thermodynamic quantities in a universal way.

Understanding de Sitter space in supergravity-and string theory-has led to an intense amount of work for more than two decades, largely motivated by the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the Universe in 1998. In this paper, we consider a non-trivial generalization of unimodular gravity to minimal supergravity, which allows for de Sitter solutions without the need of introducing any matter. We formulate a superspace version of the Stückelberg procedure, which restores diffeomorphism and local supersymmetry invariance.

Supersymmetric , and asymptotically black hole solutions are studied in the context of non-minimal supergravity models involving three vector multiplets (STU-model) and Abelian gaugings of the universal hypermultiplet moduli space. Such models correspond to consistent subsectors of the and gauged maximal supergravities that arise from the reduction of 11D and massive IIA supergravity on spaces down to four dimensions. A unified description of all the models is provided in terms of a square-root prepotential and the gauging of a duality-hidden symmetry pair of the universal hypermultiplet.
