Hidden Sector Supergravity Breakdown
نویسنده
چکیده
Gravity mediated supersymmetry breakdown originated from a study of gaugino condensation in a hidden sector. We review this mechanism of supergravity breakdown from the original formulation in the early eighties to its natural implementation in superstring theory and M-theory. In the latter case hidden and observable sector become separated geometrically and supersymmetry is broken dynamically on a hidden wall.

A Quintessential Axion
The model independent axion of string theory has a decay constant of order of the Planck scale. We explore the properties of this quintessence candidate (quintaxion) in the scheme of hidden sector supergravity breakdown. In models allowing for a reasonable µ term, the hidden sector dynamics may lead to an almost flat potential responsible for the vacuum energy of (0.003 eV) 4. A solution to the...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Breaking and Composite Extra Dimensions
We study supergravity models in four dimensions where the hidden sector is superconformal and strongly-coupled over several decades of energy below the Planck scale, before undergoing spontaneous breakdown of scale invariance and supersymmetry. We show that large anomalous dimensions can suppress Kähler contact terms between the hidden and visible sectors, leading to models in which the hidden ...
متن کاملSmall SUSY phases in string-inspired supergravity
In supersymmetric models, there are new CP violating phases which, if unsuppressed, would give a too large neutron electric dipole moment. We examine the possibility of small SUSY phases in string-inspired supergravity models in which supersymmetry is broken by the auxiliary components of the dilaton and moduli superfields. It is found that the SUSY phases can be suppressed by a small factor go...
متن کاملCorrelating μ Parameter and Right - Handed Neutrino Masses in N = 1 Supergravity
The minimal supersymmetric standard model, when extended to embed the seesaw mechanism, obtains two dimensionful parameters in its superpotential: the µ parameter and the right-handed neutrino mass M N. These mass parameters, belonging to the supersymmetric sector of the theory, pose serious naturalness problems as their scales are left completely undetermined. In fact, for correct phenomenolog...
متن کاملCosmological Constants as Messenger between Branes
We present a supersymmetry-breaking scenario in which both the breaking in the hidden sector with no-scale type supergravity and that in the observable sector with gauge mediation are taken into account. The breaking scales in the hidden and observable sectors are related through the vanishing condition of the cosmological constant with a brane-world picture in mind. Suppressing flavor-changing...
