We study a minimal model of U(N) gauged N=2 supergravity with one hypermultiplet parametrizing SO(4,1)/SO(4) quaternionic manifold. Local N=2 supersymmetry is known to be spontaneously broken to N=1 in the Higgs phase of U(1)_{graviphoton}…

We study N=2 spontaneous supersymmetry breaking at two different scales with matter fields in hypermultiplets charged under the gauge group that should involve at least two U(1) factors. Off-shell analysis is possible in the dual…

We review recent work (hep-th/0404114) on non-BPS domain walls in $5d$ SUSY theory. An exact solution of non-BPS multi-walls is found in supersymmetric massive T*(CP1) model in five dimensions. The non-BPS multi-wall solution is found to…

We study spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in inhomogeneous extensions of ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric field theory models in 4-dimensions. The ${\cal N}=1$ Abelian Higgs model with the inhomogeneous mass parameter and the FI coefficient…

In this talk we will study the partial breaking of supersymmetry in flat and anti de Sitter space. We will see that partial breaking in flat space can be accomplished using either of two representations for the massive N=1 spin-3/2…

We study supergravity models in four dimensions where the hidden sector is superconformal and strongly-coupled over several decades of energy below the Planck scale, before undergoing spontaneous breakdown of scale invariance and…

We formulate four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models in N=1 superspace. We show how to add superpotentials consistent with N=2 supersymmetry. We lift our construction to higher-dimensional spacetime and write…

We show there exist UV-complete field-theoretic models in general dimension, including $2+1$, with the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry, which persists to the arbitrarily high temperatures. Our example is a conformal vector model…

We construct orientifolds of type IIA string theory. The theory is compactified on a T^6/Z_N times Z_M orbifold. In addition worldsheet parity in combination with a reflection of three compact directions is modded out. Tadpole cancellation…

Unified models incorporating the right handed neutrino in a symmetric way generically possess parity symmetry. If this is broken spontaneously it results in the formation of domain walls in the early Universe, whose persistence is unwanted.…

In this letter, the possible appearance of N=2 supersymmetry at a low energy scale is investigated in the context of unified theories. Introducing mirror particles for all the gauge and matter multiplets of the Minimal Supersymmetric…

It was recently shown how to break supersymmetry in certain $AdS_3$ spaces, without destabilizing the background, by using a ``double trace'' deformation which localizes on the boundary of space-time. By viewing spatial sections of $AdS_3$…

We study spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in spatially modulated stable or meta-stable vacua in supersymmetric field theories. Such spatial modulation can be realized in a higher derivative chiral model for which vacuum energies are…

It is advocated that the superembedding approach is a generic covariant method for the description of superbranes as models of (partial) spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. As an illustration we construct (in the framework of…

We examine the problem of supersymmetry breaking in realistic superstring standard--like models which are constructed in the free fermionic formulation. We impose a supersymmetric vacuum at the Planck scale by requiring vanishing F and D…

Among $T^7/\Gamma$ orbifold compactifications of $M$-theory, we examine models containing the particle physics Standard Model in four-dimensional spacetimes, which appear as fixed subspaces of the ten-dimensional spacetimes at each end of…

Six dimensional compactification of the type IIA matrix model on the ${\bf Z}$-orbifold is studied. Introducing a ${\bf Z}_{3}$ symmetry properly on the three mirror images of fields in the $N$-body system of the supersymmetric D0…

We analyse the structure of N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models built up with a pair of real superfields defined in the superspace of Atiyah-Ward space-time. The geometry arising has new features such as the existence of a…

A new mechanism for symmetry breaking is proposed which naturally avoids the constraints following from the usual theorems of symmetry breaking. In the context of super-symmetry, for example, the breaking may be consistent with a vanishing…

Using the superspace formulation for the 5D N = 1 Weyl supermultiplet developed in arXiv:0802.3953, we elaborate the concept of conformally flat superspace in five dimensions. For a large family of supersymmetric theories (including…
