TL;DR
This paper presents a straightforward and reliable mechanism for mediating supersymmetry breaking between separated D-branes in type II string theory, utilizing RR p-forms and linear Chern-Simons couplings, which simplifies to U(1) mediation in four dimensions.
Contribution

Findings
Mechanism is simple and robust.
Mediation reduces to U(1) in 4D.
Applicable to type II string theory setups.
Abstract
We exhibit a simple and robust mechanism for mediation of supersymmetry breaking between geometrically separated D-branes in type II string theory. The mediation proceeds via RR p-forms that couple via linear Chern-Simons terms to the abelian vector bosons on the branes. From a 4-d low energy perspective, the mechanism reduces to U(1) mediation.
