We investigate the R symmetries of standard--like superstring models. At the level of the cubic superpotential there are three global $U(1)$ R symmetries. These are broken explicitly by $N>3$ terms in the superpotential and spontaneously by…
A fresh analysis of Left right symmetric supersymmetric models in the generic case where the scale of right handed symmetry breaking $M_R >> M_{SUSY}\sim M_W$ is presented. We conclude that the low energy effective theory for such models is…
This article provides a brief overview of some of the theoretical aspects of R-parity violation (RPV) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and its extensions. Both spontaneous and explicit RPV models are discussed and some…
The fate of R-parity in supersymmetric theories is discussed in detail. We make a strong case for R-parity violation showing that the simplest theories based on the local B-L symmetry predict the spontaneous breaking of R-parity at the SUSY…
We show that the low energy limit of the minimal supersymmetric Left-Right models is the supersymmetric standard model with an exact R-parity. The theory predicts a number of light Higgs scalars and fermions with masses much below the $B-L$…
In these Lectures we review the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model as well as some of its extensions that include R-Parity violation. The cases of spontaneous breaking of R-Parity as well as that of explicit violation through bilinear…
We review here our study of a supersymmetric left-right model (SLRM). In the model the $R$-parity is spontaneously broken. Phenomenologically novel feature of the model is the occurrance of the doubly charged particles in the Higgs sector,…
We consider invariance of the action of N=1 supersymmetric theories under the change of sign of the fermionic co-ordinate in superspace. We show that the R-parity can be realized as a special implementation of this symmetry. Other…
Searches for supersymmetry at LEP allowing for R-parity violation are reviewed. The results are compared with the R-parity conserving scenarios.
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the conservation of R-parity is phenomenologically desirable, but is ad hoc in the sense that it is not required for the internal consistency of the theory. However, if B-L is gauged at very…
Left-right symmetric models are analyzed in the context of noncommutative geometry where we show that spontaneous parity violation is ruled out.
We show how the renormalizable see-saw mechanism in the context of supersymmetry and spontaneously broken B-L symmetry implies exact R-parity at all energies. We argue that supersymmetry plays an important role in providing a "canonical"…
We review supersymmetry models with and without R-parity. After briefly describing the Minimal Supersymetric Standard Model and its particle content we move to models where R-parity is broken, either spontaneously or explicitly. In this…
We construct the truly minimal left-right symmetric model by utilizing only the fields dictated by supersymmetry and automatic R-parity conservation. Allowing for non-renormalizable operators in the superpotential, we show that parity can…
We construct a scalar potential of supersymmetric left-right model in the limit when supersymmetry is valid.
In this talk I discuss the motivations for supersymmetry, focussing on models with broken R-parity and lepton number. After describing the main theoretical features of these models, I discuss some of the signals expected at colliders such…
In a class of supersymmetric left-right models (SUSYLR) of weak interactions where R-parity is automatically conserved, we show that spontaneous breakdown of parity CANNOT occur without spontaneous breakdown of R-parity. This intriguing…
In supersymmetric theories, R-parity is defined in a way such that it does not commute with the space-time symmetries. We show that, in general sypersymmetric models, one can define a discrete symmetry which commutes with all space-time and…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the existence of R-parity is not required for the internal consistency of the theory and might therefore be regarded as ad hoc. I catalog some simple conditions which are sufficient to guarantee…
Supersymmetric left-right models with the see-saw mechanism for the neutrino masses have the attractive property that they conserve baryon and lepton number exactly in the Lagrangian. In this talk, I review the recent results valid for a…
