Abstract
We calculate the scalar potential of supersymmetric QCD (in the regime N-f < N-c) coupled to N = 1 supergravity with moduli-dependent gauge kinetic fu nction and masses. The gauge dynamics are described by the Taylor-Veneziano -Yankielowicz superpotential for composite effective fields. The potential can be expanded about the "truncated" point in the gaugino and matter conde nsate directions in order to find corrections to the globally supersymmetri c minimum. The results are relevant to the phenomenology of supersymmetry-b reaking in string-inspired supergravity models, and also to recent work on domain walls in SQCD.
