Heterotic − type I dual pairs, rigid branes and broken SUSY
The moduli space of toroidal type I vacua, which are consistent at the non-perturbative level, is composed of independent branches characterized by the number (0, 16 or 32) of rigid branes sitting on top of orientifold planes.

Geometry of orientifold vacua and supersymmetry breaking
Starting from a peculiar orientifold projection proposed long ago by Angelantonj and Cardella, we elaborate on a novel perturbative scenario that involves only D-branes, together with the two types of orientifold planes O ± and anti-orientifold planes O ¯

Aspects of supersymmetric field theories in four and six dimensions [PDF]
PhDSupersymmetry is an important concept in modern high energy physics. It has found many applications in theoretical considerations of supersymmetric gauge theories as well as in phenomenological approaches to physics beyond the Standard Model.

We consider an open-string realisation of N=2→N=0 spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. It is based on type IIB orientifold theory compactified on T2×T4/Z2, with Scherk–Schwarz supersymmetry breaking implemented ...

The Scale of Supersymmetry Breaking and the Dark Dimension
We argue for a relation between the supersymmetry breaking scale and the measured value of the dark energy density Λ. We derive it by combining two quantum gravity consistency swampland constraints, which tie the dark energy density Λ and the gravitino ...

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...

Supersymmetry Breaking by Higher Dimension Operators [PDF]
We discuss a supersymmetry breaking mechanism for N = 1 theories triggered by higher dimensional op- erators. We consider such operators for real linear and chiral spinor superfields that break superymmetry and reduce to the Volkov-Akulov action. We also

Applications of the Dressing Field Method are reviewed and further expanded to the very foundations of the supersymmetric framework, where it allows to build relational supersymmetric field theory. Furthermore, a novel approach is proposed giving a unified description of fermionic matter fields and bosonic gauge fields: a Matter‐Interaction ...

Higgs portal to visible supersymmetry breaking [PDF]
We propose a supersymmetric extension of the standard model whose Higgs sector induces a spontaneous supersymmetry breaking by itself. Unlike the minimal extension, the current Higgs mass bound can be evaded even at the tree-level without the help of the

Flavor- and CP-safe explanation of g μ − 2 anomaly
Supersymmetry is still a viable explanation for the muon g – 2 anomaly, if the sleptons and electroweak gauginos are O 100 $$ \mathcal{O}(100) $$ GeV. However, for supersymmetry breaking masses this light, the SUSY flavor and CP-problem are exacerbated ...
