Candidates for Inflaton in Quiver Gauge Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inflaton necessary to implement the mechanism of inflationary cosmology has natural candidates in quiver gauge theory. We discuss the dimensionless coefficients of quartic couplings and enumerate scalars which are singlet under the low-energy gauge group. The inflaton mass is generally predicted to be in the TeV region, close to 4 TeV for one specific unified model. A quartic inflaton potential, and a mutated hybrid inflation, are discussed. They can give adequate inflation and appropriate fluctuations but different spectral indices.

Anomaly Cancellation and Conformality in Quiver Gauge Theories
Abelian quiver gauge theories provide nonsupersymmetric candidates for the conformality approach to physics beyond the standard model. Written asN = 0, U(N) gauge theories, however, they have mixed U(1)pU(1) 2 q and U(1)pSU(N) 2 q triangle anomalies. It is shown how to construct explicitly a compensatory term ∆Lcomp which restores gauge invariance of Leff = L+∆Lcomp under U(N). It can lead to a...
متن کاملDark Matter Candidate from Conformality
Abelian quiver gauge theories provide candidates for the conformality approach to physics beyond the standard model which possess novel cancellation mechanisms for quadratic divergences. A Z2 symmetry (R parity) can be imposed and leads naturally to a dark matter candidate which is the Lightest Conformality Particle (LCP), a neutral spin-1/2 state with weak interaction annihilation cross sectio...
متن کاملBPS Partition Functions for Quiver Gauge Theories: Counting Fermionic Operators
We discuss a general procedure to obtain 1/2 BPS partition functions for generic N = 1 quiver gauge theories. These functions count the gauge invariant operators (bosonic and fermionic), charged under all the global symmetries (mesonic and baryonic), in the chiral ring of a given quiver gauge theory. In particular we discuss the inclusion of the spinor degrees of freedom in the partition functi...
متن کاملExtracting Flavor from Quiver Gauge Theories
We consider a large class of models where an SU(5) gauge symmetry and a FroggattNielsen (FN) Abelian flavor symmetry arise from a quiver gauge theory. Such quiver models are very restrictive and therefore have strong predictive power. In particular, under mild assumptions neutrino mass anarchy is predicted.
متن کاملMeta - stable A n quiver gauge theories
We study metastable dynamical breaking of supersymmetry in An quiver gauge theories. We present a general analysis and criteria for the perturbative existence of metastable vacua in quivers of any length. Different mechanisms of gauge mediation can be realized.
