D-Term Supersymmetry Breaking from Branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metastable supersymmetry breaking configurations of D-branes and NS5-branes in string theory often owe their existence to classical gravitational interactions between the branes. We show that in the effective theory of the light fields, these interactions give rise to a noncanonical Kähler potential and other D-terms. String theory provides a UV completion in which these non-renormalizable terms can be computed. We use these observations to clarify the relation between the phase structure of ISS-type models and their brane realizations.

MSSM with Soft SUSY Breaking Terms from D7–Branes with Fluxes
We discuss the structure of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in a MSSM like model, which can be derived from D7–branes with chiral matter fields from 2–form f–fluxes and supersymmetry breaking from 3-form G–fluxes.

متن کاملF-term, D-term and hybrid brane inflation
We study inflation and reheating in models for the brane universe, considering hybrid brane inflation without tachyon condensation. We expect that some fields that are localized on different branes interact with O(1) coupling when branes are on top of each other, while the interaction vanishes when branes are separated at a distance. If the interaction is needed to avoid spontaneous breaking of...
متن کاملModel Building and Phenomenology of Flux-Induced Supersymmetry Breaking on D3-branes
We study supersymmetry breaking effects induced on D3-branes at singularities by the presence of NSNS and RR 3-form fluxes. First, we discuss some local constructions of chiral models from D3-branes at singularities, as well as their global embedding in flux compactifications. The low energy spectrum of these constructions contains features of the supersymmetric Standard Model. In these models,...
متن کاملGeometric Transitions and D-term SUSY Breaking
We propose a new way of using geometric transitions to study metastable vacua in string theory and certain confining gauge theories. The gauge theories in question are N = 2 supersymmetric theories deformed to N = 1 by superpotential terms. We first geometrically engineer supersymmetry-breaking vacua by wrapping D5 branes on rigid 2-cycles in noncompact Calabi-Yau geometries, such that the cent...
