Supersymmetry Breaking Through Confining and Dual Theory Gauge Dynamics

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates how supersymmetry can be dynamically broken in theories with confining, free magnetic, and conformal phases, using specific gauge group constructions and field content derived from decomposed $SU(m)$ theories.

Contribution

It introduces new models based on $SU(n)\times SU(4)\times U(1)$ and $SU(n)\times SU(5)\times U(1)$ gauge groups that exhibit dynamical supersymmetry breaking.

Findings

Supersymmetry breaking occurs in confining, free magnetic, and conformal phases.

New gauge theories with specific group structures demonstrate dynamical SUSY breaking.

Field content derived from decomposing $SU(m)$ theories with antisymmetric tensors.

Abstract

We show that theories in the confining, free magnetic, and conformal phases can break supersymmetry through dynamical effects. To illustrate this, we present theories based on the gauge groups $SU(n)\times SU(4)\times U(1)$ and $SU(n) \times SU(5) \times U(1)$ with the field content obtained by decomposing an $SU(m)$ theory with an antisymmetric tensor and $m-4$ antifundamentals.
