DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CHEM/9/">Hom
 ogeneous Einstein Metrics\, Supersymmetry and Pseudo-Supersymmetry</a>\nby
  Christopher Pope (Texas A&M Univ.) as part of Workshop on compact homogen
 eous Einstein manifolds\n\n\nAbstract\nCompact Einstein spaces have been o
 f interest for Kaluza-Klein reduction of higher-dimensional supergravity t
 heories since the 1980s. One of the earliest "exotic" applications was the
  reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity on the Jensen squashed 7-sph
 ere\, giving a four-dimensional theory with N=1 supersymmetry.  Compact se
 mi-simple group manifolds can provide large classes of homogeneous squashe
 d Einstein metrics\, with increasing richness as the dimension increases. 
  Most of these lie beyond the range of dimensions relevant for ordinary su
 pergravities\, which exist only in eleven dimensions or less.  However\, i
 f certain of the requirements for strict supersymmetry are relaxed\, theor
 ies with "pseudo-supersymmetry" can be constructed in arbitrary dimensions
 \, and these provide a framework within which group manifold compactificat
 ions may have interesting applications.\n
