Abstract: (Elsevier)
The potentials of the SO( p , q ) gaugings of N = 8 supergravity are investigated for critical points. The SO(7,1) gauging has no G 2 -invariant critical points, the SO(6,2) theory has no SU(3) invariant critical points and the SO(5,3) gauging has only one SO(5)-invariant critical point, with positive cosmological constant, SO(5)×SO(3) symmetry and no supersymmetry.
