Models with Quartic Potential of Dynamical SUSY Breaking in Meta-Stable Vacua

TL;DR

This paper explores models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking in meta-stable vacua, proposing two models with quartic superpotentials that could have dual string descriptions involving brane probes.

Contribution

It introduces two new models with quartic superpotentials for dynamical SUSY breaking, potentially linked to known dual geometries with added brane probes.

Findings

One model relates to flavored Maldacena-Nunez geometry with massive flavors.

Another model is potentially dual to the Klebanov-Strassler geometry with probe branes.

Both models suggest new avenues for understanding SUSY breaking via string dualities.

Abstract

We search for models of dynamical SUSY breaking in meta-stable vacua which might have dual string descriptions with a few brane probes. Two models with quartic superpotential are proposed: One of them might be closely related to the dual gauge theory to the flavored Maldacena-Nunez geometry by Casero, Nunez, and Paredes with a few additional brane probes corresponding to massive flavors. The other model might be dual to the Klebanov-Strassler geometry with one fractional D3-brane and a few D7-branes as probes.
