Low Energy Supersymmetry from Non-Geometry
arXiv:0707.1595 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2007/10/011
Abstract
We study a class of flux compactifications that have all the moduli stabilised, a high (GUT) string scale and a low (TeV) gravitino mass that is generated dynamically. These non-geometric compactifications correspond to type II string theories on SU(3)xSU(3) structure orientifolds. The resulting superpotentials admit, excluding non-perturbative effects, supersymmetric Minkowski vacua with any number of moduli stabilised. We argue that non-perturbative effects are present and introduce terms in the superpotential that are exponentially suppressed by the same moduli that appear perturbatively. These deform the supersymmetric Minkowski vacua to supersymmetric AdS vacua with an exponentially small gravitino mass. The resulting vacua allow for low scale supersymmetry breaking which can be realised by a number of mechanisms.
