TL;DR
This paper introduces a new non-supersymmetric string model using an orientifold of a toric singularity, demonstrating a stable supersymmetry-breaking vacuum within gauge/gravity duality.
Contribution
It presents the first example of a non-supersymmetric gauge theory with a stable vacuum derived from a string theory orientifold of a toric singularity.
Findings
Stable non-supersymmetric vacuum achieved
Gauge theory exhibits dynamical supersymmetry breaking
First instance within gauge/gravity duality context
Abstract
We present an orientifold of a toric singularity allowing for a configuration of fractional branes which corresponds to a gauge theory that dynamically breaks supersymmetry in a stable vacuum. This model represents the first such instance within the gauge/gravity duality.
