Breaking SUSY on the Horizon
نویسنده
چکیده
I present a heuristic calculation of the critical exponent relating the gravitino mass to the cosmological constant in a de Sitter universe. The ingredients for the calculation are the area law for entropy, an R symmetry of the low energy effective Lagrangian, and a crude picture of the degenerate levels of the cosmological horizon.

Constraints on Inflation Models from Supersymmetry Breakings
Effects of soft SUSY-breaking terms on inflation potentials are discussed. There exist generic constraints that must be satisfied in order not for the inflaton potential to loose its flatness. We examine explicitly the constraints in the case of a hybrid inflation model and find that the coupling constant λ between the inflaton and the “waterfall-direction” field is bounded as 2.0 × 10−6 ∼ λ. T...
متن کاملPhenomenological Constraints on SUSY SU(5) GUTs with Non-universal Gaugino Masses
Supersymmetric gauge field theories are among the most promising models for physics beyond the standard model. The low-energy supersymmetry (SUSY) solves the so-called hierarchy problem, which basically follows from the tremendous scale differences in realistic models including gravity. After SUSY breaking, SUSY models, e.g. the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) have over hundred fre...
متن کاملR-symmetry, supersymmetry breaking and metastable vacua in global and local supersymmetric theories
We study N = 1 global and local supersymmetric theories with a continuous global U(1)R symmetry as models of dynamical supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking. We introduce explicit R-symmetry breaking terms into such models, in particular a generalized O’Raifeartaigh model. Such explicit R-symmetry breaking terms can lead to a SUSY preserving minimum. We classify explicit R-symmetry breaking terms by th...

We propose a one-parameter theory for gauge mediation of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking. The spectrum of SUSY particles such as squarks and sleptons in the SUSY standard-model and the dynamics of SUSY-breaking sector are, in principle, determined only by one parameter in the theory, that is, the mass of messengers. Above the messenger threshold all gauge coupling and Yukawa coupling constants in...
متن کاملNew RG-invariants of Soft Supersymmetry Breaking Parameters
We study new renormalization-group invariant quantities of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters other than the ratio of gaugino mass to gauge coupling squared by using the spurion method. The obtained invariants are useful to probe supersymmetry breaking and μ-term generation mechanisms at high-energy scale. We also discuss the convergence behavior of fixed points of supersymmetry breaking pa...
