چکیده

Supersymmetry breaking via gaugino condensation is studied in vacua of heterotic M–theory with five–branes. We show that supersymmetry is still broken by a global mechanism and that the non–perturbative superpotential takes the standard form. When expressed in terms of low energy fields, a modification arises due to a threshold correction in the gauge kinetic function that depends on five–brane moduli. We also determine the form of the low energy matter field Kähler potential. These results are used to discuss the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters, in particular the question of universality.

Brane World Susy Breaking from String/M Theory

String and M-theory realizations of brane world supersymmetry breaking scenarios are considered in which visible sector Standard Model fields are confined on a brane, with hidden sector supersymmetry breaking isolated on a distant brane. In calculable examples with an internal manifold of any volume the Kahler potential generically contains brane–brane nonderivative contact interactions couplin...

D-Term Supersymmetry Breaking from Branes

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 term...

Non–Standard Embedding and Five–Branes in Heterotic M–Theory

We construct vacua of M–theory on S1/Z2 associated with Calabi–Yau three-folds. These vacua are appropriate for compactification to N = 1 supersymmetry theories in both four and five dimensions. We allow for general E8 × E8 gauge bundles and for the presence of five-branes. The five-branes span the four-dimensional uncompactified space and are wrapped on holomorphic curves in the Calabi–Yau spa...

D-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. ...
