چکیده

We study four dimensional chiral N = 1 supersymmetric theories on which the scalar manifold is described by Kähler geometry and further, it can be viewed as Kähler-Ricci soliton. All couplings and solutions, namely BPS domain walls and their supersymmetric Lorentz invariant vacuums turn out to be evolved with respect to the soliton. Two models are discussed, namely N = 1 theory on Kähler-Einstein manifold and U(n) symmetric Kähler-Ricci soliton with positive definite metric. In the first example we find that the evolution of the soliton causes topological change and correspondingly, modifies the Morse index of nondegenerate vacuums realized in the parity transformation of the Hessian matrix of the scalar potential after hitting singularity which is natural in the global theory and for nondegenerate Minkowskian vacuums of the local theory. However, such situation is not trivial in anti de Sitter (AdS) vacuums. In an explicit model, we find that this geometric (Kähler-Ricci) flow can also change the index of vacuum before and after singularity. Finally, in the last example since around the origin the metric is diffeomorphic to l CP, we have then to consider it in asymptotic region. Our analysis shows that no index modification of vacuums is present in both global and local theories. email: [email protected], [email protected]

Partial Supersymmetry Breaking from Five Dimensions

Theories of partial supersymmetry breaking N = 2 → N = 1 in four dimensions are derived by coupling the N = 2 massless gravitino multiplet to N = 2 supergravity in five dimensions and performing a generalized dimensional reduction on S/Z2 with the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. These theories agree with results that were previously derived from four dimensions.

Supersymmetry on a Euclidean Spacetime Lattice I: A Target Theory with Four Supercharges

We formulate a Euclidean spacetime lattice whose continuum limit is (2, 2) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions, a theory which possesses four supercharges and an anomalous global chiral symmetry. The lattice action respects one exact supersymmetry, which allows the target theory to emerge in the continuum limit without fine-tuning. Our method exploits an orbifold construction des...

Flux, Supersymmetry and M Theory on 7-manifolds

Various aspects of low energy M theory compactified to four dimensions are considered. If the four manifold admits a Killing spinor then supersymmetry requires that the compactification cannot be warped in contrast to compactifications to other dimensions. If the spinor is parallel then supersymmetry requires that the background four-form field strength vanishes identically and that the interna...

Small Extra Dimensions from the Interplay of Gauge and Supersymmetry Breaking

Higher-dimensional theories provide a promising framework for unified extensions of the supersymmetric standard model. Compactifications to four dimensions often lead to U(1) symmetries beyond the standard model gauge group, whose breaking scale is classically undetermined. Without supersymmetry breaking, this is also the case for the size of the compact dimensions. Fayet-Iliopoulos terms gener...

Supersymmetry Breakings and Fermat's Last Theorem

A mechanism of supersymmetry breaking in two or four-dimensions is given, in which the breaking is related to the Fermat's last theorem. It is shown that supersymmetry is exact at some irrational number points in parameter space, while it is broken at all rational number points except for the origin. Accordingly, supersymmetry is exact almost everywhere, as well as broken almost everywhere on t...

Parabose algebra as generalized conformal supersymmetry

The form of realistic space-time supersymmetry is fixed, by HaagLopuszanski-Sohnius theorem, either to the familiar form of Poincare supersymmetry or, in massless case, to that of conformal supersymmetry. We question necessity for such strict restriction in the context of theories with broken symmetries. In particular, we consider parabose N = 4 algebra as an extension of conformal supersymmetr...
