D-Terms and 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 کاملFlux–induced Soft Supersymmetry Breaking in Chiral Type IIB Orientifolds with D3/D7–Branes
We discuss supersymmetry breaking via 3–form fluxes in chiral supersymmetric type IIB orientifold vacua withD3– and D7–branes. After a general discussion of possible choices of fluxes allowing for stabilizing of a part of the moduli, we determine the resulting effective action including all soft supersymmetry breaking terms. We also extend the computation of our previous work [1] concerning the...
متن کاملD-branes, Supersymmetry Breaking, and Neutrinos
This thesis studies metaand exactly stable supersymmetry breaking mechanisms in heterotic and type IIB string theories and constructs an F-theory Grand Unified Theory model for neutrino physics in which neutrino mass is determined by the supersymmetry breaking mechanism. Focussing attention on heterotic string theory compactified on a 4-torus, stability of non-supersymmetric states is studied. ...
متن کاملRemarks on Branes , Fluxes , and Soft Susy Breaking ∗
A wide class of phenomenologically attractive string theory backgrounds with low-energy N = 1 SUSY are described by combinations of D-branes, orientifold planes, and magnetic fluxes. Nontrivial gauge dynamics is typically localized in regions of the compactification manifold, and a fairly generic scenario for SUSY breaking will have supersymmetry broken in one region of the manifold, with the s...
