Abstract: (Elsevier)
We couple N = 4, d = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to supergravity. The scalars of the theory parametrize the coset (SO( n ,6)/[SO( n )×SO(6)])×(SU(1,1)/U(1)). Keeping the composite local SO( n )×SO(6)×U(1) invariance intact, we gauge an ( n + 6) parameter subgroup of SO( n ,6) which is either (i) SU(2)×SU(2)×H (dim H = n ), (ii) SO(4,1)×H (dim H = n −4) or (iii) SO(6,1)×H (dim H = n −15). In all these cases the theory has an indefinite potential.
