Dynamical Vacuum Selection in String Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-05-14 v2

Abstract

We study a system of D-branes localized near an intersection of Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes, that is known to exhibit a landscape of supersymmetric and (metastable) supersymmetry breaking vacua. We show that early universe cosmology drives it to a particular long-lived supersymmetry breaking ground state.
