We propose a simple gauged U(1)$_{B-L}$ extension of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), where R-parity is conserved as usual in the MSSM. The global $B-L$ (baryon number minus lepton number) symmetry in the MSSM is gauged 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…
We consider an extension of the supersymmetric standard model which includes singlet Higgs superfield representations (in three generations) to generate neutrino masses via the see-saw mechanism. The resulting theory may then exhibit…
The supersymmetric sector of minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) possesses a U(1) R-symmetry which contains Z_2 matter parity. Non-zero neutrino masses, consistent with a 'redefined' R-symmetry, are possible through the see-saw…
We investigate the connection between the conservation of R-parity in supersymmetry and the Stueckelberg mechanism for the mass generation of the B-L vector gauge boson. It is shown that with universal boundary conditions for soft terms of…
The simplest unified extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with bi-linear R--Parity violation provides a predictive scheme for neutrino masses which can account for the observed atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies.…
We revisit the minimal supersymmetric left-right model with B-L=2 triplet Higgs fields and show that a self-consistent picture emerges with automatic R-parity conservation even in the absence of higher dimensional operators. By computing…
We suggest that many of the free parameters in the supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model can be all linked together to the existence of a non universal U(1) gauge symmetry, which has been spontaneously broken at very high scale.…
I discuss supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model containing an extra U(1)' gauge symmetry which provide a solution to the mu-problem and at the same time protect the proton from decaying via dimension 4 operators. Moreover, all…
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…
The simplest gauge theories for the conservation of R-parity in supersymmetry are discussed. We show how the minimal theory based on the B-L gauge symmetry predicts that R-parity must be spontaneously broken at the TeV scale. The most…

We propose a minimal gauged U(1)$_X$ extension of the MSSM with R-parity conservation. In this model, U(1)$_X$ is a generalization of the well-known U(1) $B-L$. Apart from the MSSM particle content, the model includes three right-handed…
We study the minimal gauged U(1)_{B-L} supersymmetric model and show that it provides an attractive theory for spontaneous R-parity violation. Both U(1)_{B-L} and R-parity are broken by the vacuum expectation value of the right-handed…
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…

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…
We recall the obstacles which seemed, long ago, to prevent one from viewing supersymmetry as a possible fundamental symmetry of Nature. Is spontaneous supersymmetry breaking possible ? Where is the spin-1/2 Goldstone fermion of…
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 $B-L$…
Two moderate extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model are considered. The first one includes a U(1)_{B-L} gauge group, while the second is based on a left-right symmetric gauge group. In these models, hybrid inflation is…
