The problem of the large induced Λ term (present already for free matter fields) is stressed and the possibility of dynamical breakdown of local supersymmetry is pointed out. We illustrate our techniques and qualitative conclusions on a number of examples, including Ø4 theory and QED scalar potentials on a de Sitter background and an effective action in Einstein theory with a cosmological constant. Possible solutions of the Λ-term problem are also discussed.
