Hidden Sector Supergravity Breakdown

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Gravity mediated supersymmetry breakdown originated from a study of gaugino condensation in a hidden sector. We review this mechanism of supergravity breakdown from the original formulation in the early eighties to its natural implementation in superstring theory and M-theory. In the latter case hidden and observable sector become separated geometrically and supersymmetry is broken dynamically on a hidden wall.
