On meta-stable SQCD with adjoint matter and gauge mediation [PDF]

, 2007
We briefly review our analysis of a model with non supersymmetric vacua in N=1 gauge theories with adjoint matter and no R-symmetry. We show here that this model without any modification fits into a direct gauge mediation scenario and leads to massive ...

Mediation analysis with graph mediator

Biostatistics
Summary This study introduces a mediation analysis framework when the mediator is a graph. A Gaussian covariance graph model is assumed for graph presentation. Causal estimands and assumptions are discussed under this presentation. With a covariance matrix as the mediator, a low-rank representation is introduced and parametric mediation ...
