We investigate SUSY of Wess-Zumino models in non(anti-)commutative Euclidean superspaces. Non(anti-)commutative deformations break 1/2 SUSY, then non(anti-)commutative Wess-Zumino models do not have full SUSY in general. However, we can…
Models with dynamical supersymmetry breaking are interesting because they may provide a solution to both the gauge hierarchy and the fine-tuning problems. However, because of strongly interacting dynamics, it is in general impossible to…
Supersymmetric (SUSY) models and dynamical breaking of symmetries have been used to explain hierarchies of mass scales. We find that a chiral representation, $\overline{\bf 10}\, \oplus\, \overline{\bf 5}\, \oplus\, 2\cdot{\bf 5}$ in SUSY…
We deconstruct the non-supersymmetric SU(5) breaking by discrete symmetry on the space-time $M^4\times S^1$ and $M^4\times S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2')$ in the Higgs mechanism deconstruction scenario. And we explain the subtle point on how to…
A way to break supersymmetry in perturbative superstring theory is the string version of the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. There, the fermions and bosons have mass splitting due to different compactification boundary conditions. We consider the…
We study one dimensional supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanics of a spin 1/2 particle moving in a rotating magnetic field and scalar potential. We also discuss SUSY breaking and it is shown that SUSY breaking essentially depends on the…
We study the constraints on models with extra dimensions arising from local anomaly cancellation. We consider a five-dimensional field theory with a U(1) gauge field and a charged fermion, compactified on the orbifold S^1/(Z_2 x Z_2'). We…
We present a simple N=1 five-dimensional model where the fifth dimension is compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$. Non-chiral matter lives in the bulk of the fifth dimension (five dimensions) while chiral matter lives on the fixed points…
We build explicit supersymmetric unification models where grand unified gauge symmetry breaking and supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking are caused by the same sector. Besides, the SM-charged particles are also predicted by the symmetry breaking…
We construct new supersymmetric solutions corresponding to M5-branes wrapped on a topological disc by turning on additional scalars in the background. The presence of such scalar fields breaks one of the U(1) isometries of the internal…
We propose low energy 6-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric SU(6) models on $M^4\times T^2/(Z_2)^3$ and $M^4\times T^2/(Z_2)^4$, where the orbifold $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)$ model can be embedded on the boundary 4-brane. For the zero modes, the…
We demonstrate that the supersymmetry is dynamically broken in the four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theory coupled to a strongly-coupled superconformal theory T_N. This is a direct generalization of the model of supersymmetry breaking on…
A Z_2 orbifold compactification of the heterotic string is considered. The resulting 6D GUT groups can be SO(16) or E_7 times SU(2) plus some hidden sector groups. The N=4 supersymmetry is reduced to N=2. In particular, the SO(16) 6D model…
We investigate supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking scenarios where both SUSY and Lorentz symmetry are broken spontaneously. For concreteness, we propose models in which scalar fluid or vector condensation breaks Lorentz symmetry and accordingly…
We study aspects of Wess-Zumino models related to SUSY and R-symmetry breaking at tree-level. We present a recipe for constructing a wide class of tree-level SUSY and R-breaking models. We also deduce a general property shared by all…
We consider quantum models corresponding to superymmetrizations of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator based on worldline $d=1$ realizations of the supergroup SU$(\,{\cal N}/2\,|1)$, where the number of supersymmetries ${\cal N}$ is…
Supersymmetric unification in warped space provides new possibilities for model building. I argue that the picture of warped supersymmetric unification arises naturally through the AdS/CFT correspondence from the assumption that…
An introduction to supersymmetric (SUSY) solutions defined on the product of Ricci-flat spaces in D= 11 supergravity is presented. The paper contains some background information: (i) decomposition relations for SUSY equations and (ii)…
The issue of Supersymmetry breaking in the context of Supergravity models of Quintessence is discussed.
We construct a class of matrix models, where supersymmetry (SUSY) is spontaneously broken at the matrix size $N$ infinite. The models are obtained by dimensional reduction of matrix-valued SUSY quantum mechanics. The potential of the models…
