Misaligned supersymmetry and open strings

چکیده
The study of non-supersymmetric string theories is shedding light on an important corner the landscape and might ultimately explain why, so far, we did not observe supersymmetry in our universe. We review how misaligned closed-string leads to a cancellation between bosons fermions even theories. then show that same takes place for open strings by studying anti-D$p$-brane placed top O$p$-plane type II theory. Misaligned consists cancellations at \emph{different} energy levels, such way averaged number states grows rate dominated factor $\mathrm{e}^{C_{\mathrm{eff}}\sqrt{n}}$, with $C_{\mathrm{eff}}<C_{\mathrm{tot}}$, where $C_{\mathrm{tot}}$ inverse Hagedorn temperature. prove previously conjectured complete cancellation, i.e. $C_{\mathrm{eff}}=0$, vast class models.

Supersymmetry and finite - temperature strings ∗
We describe finite temperature N = 4 superstrings in D = 5 by an effective fourdimensional supergravity of the thermal winding modes that can become tachyonic and trigger the instabilities at the Hagedorn temperature. Using a domain-wall ansatz, exact solutions to special BPS-type first order equations are found. They preserve half of the supersymmetries, contrary to the standard perturbative s...
متن کاملString theory, misaligned supersymmetry, and the supertrace constraints.
We demonstrate that string consistency in four spacetime dimensions leads to a spectrum of string states which satisfies the supertrace constraints Str1 = 0 and StrM2 ∝ Λ at tree level, where Λ is the one-loop string cosmological constant. This result holds for a large class of string theories, including critical heterotic strings. For strings lacking spacetime supersymmetry, these supertrace c...
متن کاملSuggestion of Explicit Field Transformations underlying Misaligned Supersymmetry
In order that nonsupersymmetric quiver gauge theories can satisfy naturalness requirements to all orders of perturbation theory, one expects a global symmetry similar to, but different from, supersymmetry. Consistent with the generalized no-go theorem published by Haag et al in 1975, we suggest a generalization of supersymmetry to a misaligned supersymmetry where fermionic generators do not com...
متن کاملOpen Strings and Dualities
In the fruitful interplay between gauge fields and strings and in many conjectured M-theory dualities, open strings play a prominent role. We review the construction of open-string descendants (un-orientifolds) of closed-string theories admitting a generalized orientation reversal involution. We then specialize the construction to some classes of non-supersymmetric models in D = 10 that have be...
متن کاملNote on Mediation of Supersymmetry Breaking from Closed to Open Strings
We discuss the mediation of supersymmetry breaking from closed to open strings, extending and improving previous analysis of the authors in Nucl. Phys. B 695 (2004) 103 [hepth/0403293]. In the general case, we find the absence of anomaly mediation around any perturbative string vacuum. When supersymmetry is broken by Scherk-Schwarz boundary conditions along a compactification interval perpendic...
