Nonlinear N = 2 Supersymmetry , Effective Actions and Moduli Stabilization

چکیده
Nonlinear supersymmetry is used to compute the general form of the effective D-brane action in type I string theory compactified to four dimensions in the presence of internal magnetic fields. In particular, the scalar potential receives three contributions: (1) a nonlinear part of the D-auxiliary component, associated to the Dirac-Born-Infeld action; (2) a Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) D-term with a moduli-dependent coefficient; (3) a D-auxiliary independent (but moduli dependent) piece from the D-brane tension. Minimization of this potential leads to three general classes of vacua with moduli stabilization: (i) supersymmetric vacua allowing in general FI terms to be cancelled by non-trivial vacuum expectation values (VEV’s) of charged scalar fields; (ii) anti-de Sitter vacua of broken supersymmetry in the presence of a non-critical dilaton potential that can be tuned at arbitrarily weak string coupling; (iii) if the dilaton is fixed in a supersymmetric way by threeform fluxes and in the absence of charged scalar VEV’s, one obtains non supersymmetric vacua with positive vacuum energy.

We show some structures of moduli stabilization and supersymmetry breaking caused by gaugino condensations with the gauge couplings depending on two moduli which often appear in the four-dimensional effective theories of superstring compactifications. Talk given at the 14th International Conference on Supersymmetry and the Unification of Fundamental Interactions (SUSY06), UC Irvine, California,...

We derive the explicit form, and discuss some properties of the moduli dependent effective potential arising from M-theory compactified on M 4 × X × S 1 /Z 2 , when one of the boundaries supports a strongly interacting gauge sector and induces gaugino condensation. We discuss the relation between the explicit gaugino condensate and effective superpotential formulations and find interesting diff...
متن کاملModuli stabilization and supersymmetry breaking in effective theories of strings.
In the "central" region of moduli space of string theories, which is most likely to describe the "real world," the string coupling is about unity and the volume of compact dimensions is about the string volume. We map this region, assuming that the string coupling and compact volume moduli are chiral superfields of N = 1 supergravity in four dimensions, and requiring that the supersymmetry (SUS...
متن کاملHybrid inflation with moduli stabilization and low scale supersymmetry breaking
We study the supergravity hybrid inflation model of Ref. [1] in the presence of a modulus field. The η-problem is solved by a shift symmetry for the inflaton, which protects the inflaton mass even in the presence of the modulus field. Inflation is (nearly) unaffected by moduli stabilization, provided the scale of supersymmetry breaking in the post-inflation vacuum is small. Therefore the model ...
متن کاملStability of flux compactifications and the pattern of supersymmetry breaking
We extend the KKLT [1] approach to moduli stabilization by including the dilaton and the complex structure moduli into the effective supergravity theory. Decoupling of the dilaton is neither always possible nor necessary for the existence of stable minima with zero (or positive) cosmological constant. The pattern of supersymmetry breaking can be much richer than in the decoupling scenario of KKLT.
