To embed the seesaw mechanism in the MSSM, two or three right-handed neutrino supermultiplets, $N_i$, have to be added to the model. In the presence of these new superfields, the soft supersymmetry breaking potential includes a lepton…
Supersymmetric grand unified theories with non-universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms are studied. By integrating out the superheavy fields at an unification scale, we compute their low-energy effective Lagrangian. We find new…
We consider a scenario in which the dominant quartic coupling for the Higgs doublets arises from the F-term potential, rather than the conventional SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y D-term potential, in supersymmetric theories. The quartic coupling arises…
We argue that a Standard Model decoupling limit is generically the necessary ingredient which makes scenarios of electro-weak symmetry breaking viable. This applies especially also to models of dynamical electro-weak symmetry breaking.…
We discuss a new class of low energy supersymmetric models in which the Higgs sector includes a single doublet, for example H_u, but not H_d. Chiral gauge anomalies are canceled against new electroweak-charged states. We discuss the main…
We study the little hierarchy between mass parameters in the Higgs sector and other SUSY breaking masses. This type of spectrum can relieve the fine-tuning problem in the MSSM Higgs sector. Our scenario can be realized by superconformal…
We construct supersymmetric theories in which the correct scale for electroweak symmetry breaking is obtained without significant fine-tuning. We calculate the fine-tuning parameter for these theories to be at the 20% level, which is…
The Higgs mixing term coefficient $\mu$ is calculated in the supersymmetric theory which possesses a non-anomalous $U(1)_{R}$ symmetry in the limit of global supersymmetry. In this model, supersymmetry is assumed to be broken by gaugino…
A dynamical symmetry breaking model of electroweak interactions is investigated based on strongly interacting fermions. Vector-like fermions of different representations of the weak SU(2) form a symmetry breaking condensate and generate the…
Relatively simple models can be constructed in which supersymmetry is dynamically broken at energies of $10^5-10^7$ GeV. Models of this kind do not suffer from the naturalness and cosmological difficulties of conventional supergravity…
Recent LHC data, together with the electroweak naturalness argument, suggest that the top squarks may be significantly lighter than the other sfermions. We present supersymmetric models in which such a split spectrum is obtained through…
We investigate the phenomenology of the Nearly Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (nMSSM) in the deflected anomaly mediation scenario. We also include the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term of the standard model gauge group. In the nMSSM, the mu…
We survey a variety of proposals for new physics at high scales that serve to relate the multitude of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters of the MSSM. We focus on models where the new physics results in non-universal soft parameters, in…
We consider the renormalisation of the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term in a softly-broken supersymmetric gauge theory with a non-simple gauge group containing an abelian factor, and present the associated beta-function through three loops. We also…
We propose a mechanism that the soft supersymmetry breaking masses and $\mu$ parameter can be induced from the dynamical rearrangement of local U(1) symmetries in a five-dimensional model. It offers to a solution of $\mu$ problem if there…
We consider supersymmetric theories where the standard-model quark and lepton fields are localized on a "3-brane" in extra dimensions, while the gauge and Higgs fields propagate in the bulk. If supersymmetry is broken on another 3-brane,…
Motivated by D-brane model building, we evaluate the $\cal{F}$-$SU(5)$ model with additional vector-like particle multiplets, referred to as flippons, within the framework of No-Scale Supergravity with non-vanishing general supersymmetry…
We construct a supergravity-Maxwell theory with a novel embedding of the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term, leading to spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The gauging of the R-symmetry is not required and a gravitino mass is allowed for a generic…
In this talk, I shall address two key issues related to electroweak symmetry breaking. First, how fine-tuned different models are that trigger this phenomenon? Second, even if a light Higgs boson exists, does it have to be necessarily…
We derive in detail a condition on the Higgs mass parameters that is necessary for the recently proposed ``split supersymmetry'' (split SUSY) scenario to provide a realistic magnitude of $\tan \beta$. The nature of this condition can be…
