TL;DR
This paper explores how monopole condensation in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories can induce supersymmetry breaking in metastable vacua, with implications for R-symmetry breaking and model building.
Contribution
It demonstrates that monopole condensation can serve as a trigger for supersymmetry breaking in metastable vacua within N=1 theories, extending previous models.
Findings
Monopole condensation leads to supersymmetry breaking in metastable states.
The low-energy effective theory resembles an O'Raifeartaigh model with spontaneous R-symmetry breaking.
Various implementations with different phenomenological relevance are analyzed.
Abstract
We investigate N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories where monopole condensation triggers supersymmetry breaking in a metastable vacuum. The low-energy effective theory is an O'Raifeartaigh-like model of the kind investigated recently by Shih where the R-symmetry can be spontaneously broken. We examine several implementations with varying degrees of phenomenological interest.
