Non-supersymmetric Attractor with the Cosmological Constant
As a test for the non-supersymmetric attractor mechanism, we consider extremal Reissner-Nordström-(anti-)de Sitter black holes. Based on the simple observation that the near-horizon geometry of a generic extremal black hole contains two-dimensional anti-de Sitter factor even in the presence of the positive cosmological constant, we apply Ashoke Sen’s entropy function method to compute the entro...
متن کاملSupersymmetric dark matter with a cosmological constant
Recent measurements of cosmological parameters from the microwave background radiation, type Ia supernovae, and the age of globular clusters help determine the relic matter density in the universe. It is first shown with mild cosmological assumptions that the relic matter density satisfies ΩMh 2 < 0.6 independent of the cosmological constant and independent of the SNIa data. Including the SNIa ...
متن کاملComments on Non-supersymmetric Type I Vacua
We review open descendants of non-supersymmetric type IIB asymmetric orbifolds with zero cosmological constant. We find that supersymmetry remains unbroken on the branes at all mass levels, whereas it is broken in the bulk. Orbifold compactifications which break supersymmetry while keeping the cosmological constant at one loop, two loop and possibly up to all orders in perturbation theory to ze...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions and the Cosmological Constant: An Update
This article critically reviews the proposal for addressing the cosmological constant problem within the framework of supersymmetric large extra dimensions (SLED), as recently proposed in hep-th/0304256. After a brief restatement of the cosmological constant problem, a short summary of the proposed mechanism is given. The emphasis is on the perspective of the low-energy effective theory in orde...
متن کاملSemi-local Cosmic Strings and the Cosmological Constant Problem
We study the cosmological constant problem in a three-dimensional N = 2 supergravity theory with gauge group SU(2)global × U(1)local. The model we consider is known to admit string-like configurations, the so-called semi-local cosmic strings. We show that the stability of these solitonic solutions is provided by supersymmetry through the existence of a lower bound for the energy, even though th...
