Large hierarchies from approximate R symmetries

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-04-09 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We show that hierarchically small vacuum expectation values of the superpotential in supersymmetric theories can be a consequence of an approximate R symmetry. We briefly discuss the role of such small constants in moduli stabilization and understanding the huge hierarchy between the Planck and electroweak scales.
