Mechanisms for Supersymmetry Breaking in Open String Vacua

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-29 v1

Abstract

We investigate mechanisms that can trigger supersymmetry breaking in open string vacua. The focus is on backgrounds with D-branes and orientifold planes that have an exact string description, and allow to study some of the quantum effects induced by supersymmetry breaking.
