Spontaneous Scherk-schwarz Supersymmetry Breaking and Radion Stabilization *
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk I review the issues of supersymmetry breaking and radion stabilization in a five dimensional theory compactified on the Z 2 orbifold. Supersymmetry breaking by Scherk-Schwarz boundary conditions is interpreted as spontaneous breaking of local supersymmetry by the Hosotani mechanism. The auxiliary field responsible for spontaneous supersymmetry breaking is inside the five-dimensional off-shell minimal supergravity multiplet. Different ways of fixing the supersym-metry breaking order parameter are analyzed. In the presence of supersymmetry breaking the one-loop effective potential for the radion has a minimum that fixes its vacuum expectation value. The radion is stabilized in a metastable Minkowski 4 minimum (versus the AdS 4 vacuum) with a mass in the meV range making it interesting for future deviations from the gravitational inverse-square law.

Scherk - Schwarz Supersymmetry Breaking with Radion Stabilization
We study the issue of radion stabilization within five-dimensional supersymmetric theories compactified on the orbifold S 1 /Z 2. We break supersymmetry by the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism and explain its implementation in the off-shell formulation of five dimensional supergravity in terms of the tensor and linear compensator multiplets. We show that radion stabilization may be achieved by radiativ...
متن کاملSupersymmetric theories with compact extra dimensions in N = 1 superfields
We present an N = 1 superfield formulation of supersymmetric gauge theories with a compact extra dimension. The formulation incorporates the radion superfield and allows to write supersymmetric theories on warped gravitational backgrounds. We apply it to study the breaking of supersymmetry by the F -term of the radion, and show that, for flat extra dimensions, this leads to the same mass spectr...
متن کاملSoftness of Scherk-Schwarz Supersymmetry Breaking
We investigate how the mass correction appears in 5-D with Scherk-Schwarz compactification and clarify whether the KK regularization is reliable method or not. In the extremely sharp cutoff limit of the 5-D regulator which preserves 5-D Lorentz invariance, we prove that the one loop correction to the mass does not depend on the ultraviolet physics for the Scherk-Schwarz breaking of supersymmetr...

5D orbifold has two attractive features: quasi-localized matter fields can naturally reproduce hierarchical Yukawa coupling, while supersymmetry breaking is inherently built in by the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. We examine the consequence of this quasi-localization and the Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking in low energy flavor violating processes, under the assumption that physics below the c...
متن کاملScherk-Schwarz Supersymmetry Breaking in 4D
Using the techniques of dimensional deconstruction, we present 4D models that fully reproduce the physics of 5D supersymmetric theories compactified on an S/Z2 orbifold with general Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking (SSSB) boundary conditions. In contrast to previous approaches, our deconstruction involves only soft supersymmetry breaking. Deconstruction preserves many of the attractive fea...
