Dynamically SUSY Breaking SQCD on F-Theory Seven-Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We study how dynamically breaking SQCD can be obtained on two intersecting seven-branes in F-theory. In the mechanism which we present in this paper one of the seven-branes is responsible for producing the low-energy gauge group and the other one is for generating vector bundle moduli. The fundamental matter charged under the gauge group is localized on the intersection. The mass of the matter fields is controlled by the vector bundle moduli. The analysis of under what conditions a sufficient number of the fundamental flavors becomes light turns out to be equivalent to the analysis of non-perturbative superpotentials for vector bundle moduli in Heterotic M-theory. We give an example in which we present an explicit equation in the moduli space whose zero locus corresponds to the fundamental fields becoming light. This allows us to provide a local F-theory realization of massive N = 1, SU(Nc) SQCD in the free magnetic range which dynamically breaks supersymmetry.

On SQCD with massive and massless flavors
We consider supersymmetric QCD in the free magnetic phase with massless and massive flavors. The theory has a supersymmetry breaking pseudo-moduli space of vacua and a runaway behavior far away from the origin. A two-loop computation reveals that the origin is destabilized and there is no meta-stable SUSY breaking solution. We also study the embedding of this model in type IIA string theory and...
متن کاملSoftly Broken SQCD: in the Continuum, on the Lattice, on the Brane
We review progress in studying the solutions of SQCD in the presence of explicit, soft SUSY breaking terms. Massive N=1 SQCD in the presence of a small gaugino mass leads to a controlled solution which has interesting phase structure with changing θ angle reminiscent of the QCD chiral Lagrangian. Current attempts to test the solutions of pure glue SQCD on the lattice require a theoretical under...
متن کاملDynamical SUSY and R-Symmetry Breaking in SQCD with Massive and Massless Flavors
We show that supersymmetry and R-symmetry can be dynamically broken in a longlived metastable vacuum of SQCD with massive and massless flavors. The vacuum results from a competition of a (leading) two-loop effect and small “Planck” suppressed higher-dimension operators. This mechanism provides a particularly simple realization of dynamical SUSY and R-symmetry breaking, and as such it is a good ...
متن کاملDynamical SUSY Breaking at Meta-Stable Minima from D-branes at Obstructed Geometries
We study the existence of long-lived meta-stable supersymmetry breaking vacua in gauge theories with massless quarks, upon the addition of extra massive flavors. A simple realization is provided by a modified version of SQCD with Nf,0 < Nc massless flavors, Nf,1 massive flavors and additional singlet chiral fields. This theory has local meta-stable minima separated from a runaway behavior at in...
متن کاملOn supersymmetry breaking in string theory from gauge theory in a throat
We embed the supersymmetry breaking mechanism in N = 1 SQCD of hepth/0602239 in a smooth superstring theory using D-branes in the background IR × SL(2)k=1/U(1) which smoothly captures the throat region of an intersecting NS5-brane configuration. A controllable deformation of the supersymmetric branes gives rise to the mass deformation of the magnetic SQCD theory on the branes. The consequent in...
