TL;DR
This paper introduces a mechanism where small soft terms induce significant supersymmetry breaking along pseudo-flat directions, impacting model building and cosmology in hidden sectors.
Contribution
It demonstrates that small soft terms can generate large supersymmetry breaking minima along pseudo-flat directions, a novel approach for gauge mediation models.
Findings
Supersymmetry breaking can be significantly amplified beyond initial soft terms.
The mechanism influences hidden sector cosmology and model construction.
Supports the existence of multiple supersymmetry breaking sectors.
Abstract
We show that small soft terms can create a supersymmetry breaking minimum along a pseudo-flat direction of a hidden sector which would otherwise be incapable of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. As this minimum lies along a pseudo-flat direction, with non-zero F- or D-terms, the resultant supersymmetry breaking in the hidden sector can be orders of magnitude greater than the soft terms which created the minimum. This opens new avenues for building models of gauge mediation, may have consequences for the cosmology of hidden sectors, and strengthens the case for multiple supersymmetry breaking sectors.
