Demonstration of Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in SO(N_{c}) Gauge Theories. [PDF]
We demonstrate that SO(N_{c}) gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the SU(N_{F}) chiral symmetry to SO(N_{F}) via the quark bilinear.

Supersymmetry breaking deformations and phase transitions in five dimensions [PDF]
We analyze a recently proposed supersymmetry breaking mass deformation of the E1 superconformal fixed point in five dimensions which, at weak gauge coupling, leads to pure SU(2) Yang-Mills and which was conjectured to lead to an interacting CFT at strong

Nonexistence of supersymmetry breaking counterexamples to the Nelson-Seiberg theorem [PDF]
Counterexample models to the Nelson-Seiberg theorem have been discovered, and their features have been studied in previous literature. All currently known counterexamples have generic superpotentials respecting the R-symmetry, and more R-charge 2 fields ...

Inflation, gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking, and de Sitter vacua in supergravity with a Kähler-invariant Fayet-Iliopoulos term [PDF]
We use a new mechanism for generating a Fayet-Iliopoulos term in supergravity, which is not associated to an R symmetry, to construct a semi-realistic theory of slow-roll inflation for a theory with the same K¨ahler potential and superpotential as the ...

Reheating after inflation by supersymmetry breaking [PDF]
We study reheating after the end of inflation in models where the inflaton is the superpartner of goldstino and is charged under a gauged U(1) R-symmetry. We consider two classes of models – one is small field characterized by an almost flat Kähler space,

Tests of gluino-driven radiative breaking of the electroweak symmetry at the LHC [PDF]
The recent muon g − 2 result from Fermilab combined with the Brookhaven result, strongly points to new physics beyond the Standard Model which can be well described by the electroweak sector of supersymmetry if the masses of the sleptons and some of the ...

Dynamical supersymmetry breaking and late-time R symmetry breaking as the origin of cosmic inflation [PDF]
Spontaneously broken supersymmetry (SUSY) and a vanishingly small cosmological constant imply that $R$ symmetry must be spontaneously broken at low energies.

A Note on Modular Invariant Species Scale and Potentials
Abstract The species scale provides an upper bound for the ultraviolet cutoff of effective theories of gravity coupled to a number of light particle species. Modular invariant (super‐)potentials provide a simple and computable expression of the species scale as a function of the moduli in toroidal orbifold compactifications of type II and heterotic ...
