Twisted Moduli and Supersymmetry Breaking
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider twisted moduli contributions to supersymmetry breaking in effective type I string constructions involving intersecting D5i and D9-branes using Goldstino angles to parametrise the supersymmetry breaking. It is well known that twisted moduli enter at tree-level into the gauge kinetic functions, and can provide new sources of gaugino mass if they develop F-term vacuum expectation values. It is generally assumed that string states which are sequestered from the twisted moduli receive a zero soft mass in the twisted modulus domination limit, however the standard form of Kähler potential does not reproduce this expectation. We therefore propose a new form of the Kähler potential which is consistent at leading order with the sequestered form proposed by Randall and Sundrum, and show that it leads to exponentially suppressed sequestered soft masses. Including the effects of Green-Schwarz mixing, we write down the soft scalar and trilinear masses arising from a type I string construction involving intersecting D5i and D9-branes in the presence of untwisted and twisted moduli. If the squarks and sleptons are identified with sequestered states then in the twisted moduli dominated limit this corresponds to gaugino mediated supersymmetry breaking, and we discuss two different scenarios for this. The general results will be useful for phenomenological studies involving a combination of gravity and gaugino mediated SUSY breaking due to the dilaton, untwisted and twisted moduli contributions, and enable the soft masses to be studied as a function of the different compactification radii.

Phenomenology of Twisted Moduli in Type I String Inspired Models
We make a first study of the phenomenological implications of twisted moduli in type I intersecting D5-brane models, focussing on the resulting predictions at the LHC using SOFTSUSY to estimate the Higgs and sparticle spectra. Twisted moduli can play an important role in giving a viable string realisation of sequestering in the limit where supersymmetry breaking comes entirely from the twisted ...
متن کاملNo-scale supersymmetry breaking vacua and soft terms with torsion
We analyze the conditions to have no-scale supersymmetry breaking solutions of type IIA and IIB supergravity compactified on manifolds of SU(3)-structure. The supersymmetry is spontaneously broken by the intrinsic torsion of the internal space. For type IIB orientifolds with O9 and O5-planes the mass of the gravitino is governed by the torsion class W1, and the breaking is mediated through F-te...

We show some structures of moduli stabilization and supersymmetry breaking caused by gaugino condensations with the gauge couplings depending on two moduli which often appear in the four-dimensional effective theories of superstring compactifications.

In this letter, we discuss a four-dimensional model with modulus fields which are responsible for supersymmetry breaking. Given non-trivial moduli dependence of the action, the model is found to give a proper description of higherdimensional supersymmetry breaking. We explicitly calculate gaugino and scalar mass spectrum and show that several classes of scenarios proposed in the literature are ...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking
Some formal aspects of supersymmetry breaking are reviewed. The classic " requirements " for supersymmetry breaking include chiral matter, a dynamical su-perpotential, and a classical superpotential which completely lifts the moduli space. These " requirements " may be evaded in theories with large matter representations. The mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking by confinement and quantum defor...
