Nonanomalous Discrete R-Symmetry and Light Gravitino
Abstract
We discuss nonanomalous R-symmetry in the supersymmetric grand unified theories. In particular, we explore anomaly-free solutions predicting the gravitino mass in the range of when the -parameter is fixed to be . In the minimal SU(5) GUT, we have shown that is obtained only if the gravitino is ultralight with mass . If extra fields or are introduced, many solutions predicting are found. The R-parity is violated due to the vacuum expectation value of the superpotential, but it is controlled by the discrete R-symmetry. We find that the R-parity violating couplings are naturally suppressed much below the experimental bounds for some charge assignments. These charge assignments predict light gravitino with masses of order --. These discrete R-symmetries can be considered as solutions to the -problem in low energy supersymmetry breaking models such as the gauge mediation.
