چکیده
Keeping N=1 supersymmetry in 4-dimension and in the leading order, we disuss the various orbifold compactifications of M-theory suggested by Horava and Witten on T /Z3, T /Z6, T /Z12, and the compactification by keeping singlets under SU(2) × U(1) symmetry, then the compactification on S/Z2. We also discuss the next to leading order Kähler potential, superpotential, and gauge kinetic function in the Z12 case. In addition, we calculate the SUSY breaking soft terms and find out that the universality of the scalar masses will be violated, but the violation might be very small.

We construct a (1,2) heterotic string with gauge symmetry and determine its particle spectrum. This theory has a local N=1 worldsheet supersymmetry for left movers and a local N=2 worldsheet supersymmetry for right movers and describes particles in either two or three space-time dimensions. We show that fermionizing the bosons of the compactified N=1 space leads to a particle spectrum which has...

We review recent work in which compactifications of string and M theory are constructed in which all scalar fields (moduli) are massive, and supersymmetry is broken with a small positive cosmological constant, features needed to reproduce real world physics. We explain how this work implies that there is a “landscape” of string/M theory vacua, perhaps containing many candidates for describing r...

A model of gauge mediation with m 3/2 ≃ O(1) eV is considered to motivate 100 TeV colliders. Massive mediators with standard-model and supersymmetry-breaking gauge quantum numbers let low-scale dynamics induce sizable soft masses of the standard-model superpartners. We circumvent potential phenomenological difficulties that such low-scale models tend to cause.

We describe a mechanism for using discrete symmetries to solve the doublet-triplet splitting problem of four dimensional supersymmetric GUT's. We present two versions of the mechanism, one via " deconstruction, " and one in terms of M-theory compactification to four dimensions on a manifold of G 2 holonomy.
