We will start with the usual discussion about the novelties on hep-th and after that Davide Cassani will present Title: Fayet-Iliopoulos term in susy and sugra Abstract: We will discuss recent developements about the Fayet-Iliopoulos term in rigid and local supersymmetry. In particular, we will focus on the claim that models with FI terms cannot be consistently coupled to supergravity. Main reference: Z. Komargodski and N.
