Suppression of Supergravity Anomalies in Conformal Sequestering

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that conformal dynamics can suppress anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking effects originating from Kahler and sigma-model anomalies, potentially addressing issues in supersymmetric model building.

Contribution

It introduces a mechanism where conformal sequestering reduces supergravity anomalies, offering a new approach to control supersymmetry breaking effects.

Findings

Anomaly-mediated effects are suppressed by conformal dynamics.

Conformal sequestering can mitigate supergravity anomalies.

Potential implications for supersymmetric model phenomenology.

Abstract

We show that the anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking via the Kahler and sigma-model anomalies is suppressed by conformal dynamics in the supersymmetry breaking sector.
