Supersymmetry Breaking in the Anthropic Landscape
Leonard Susskind
TL;DR
This paper examines how the gauge hierarchy problem influences supersymmetry breaking within the anthropic landscape framework, addressing criticisms and exploring the likelihood of low-energy supersymmetry in this context.
Contribution
It challenges the assumption that the anthropic landscape naturally favors low-energy supersymmetry by analyzing gauge hierarchy considerations and responding to prior criticisms.
Findings
The gauge hierarchy may not favor low-energy supersymmetry in the landscape.
Considerations by Douglas reinforce the argument against natural low-energy supersymmetry.
Addresses criticisms by Banks, Dine, and Gorbatov regarding the landscape approach.
Abstract
In this paper I attempt to address a serious criticism of the ``Anthropic Landscape" and "Discretuum" approach to cosmology, leveled by Banks, Dine and Gorbatov. I argue that in this new and unfamiliar setting, the gauge Hierarchy may not favor low energy supersymmetry. In a added note some considerations of Douglas which substantially strengthen the argument are explained.
