Approximate R-symmetries and the mu term
arXiv:1003.0084 · doi:10.1007/JHEP04(2010)006
Abstract
We discuss the role of approximate U(1)_R symmetries for the understanding of hierarchies in Nature. Such symmetries may explain a suppressed expectation value of the superpotential and provide us with a solution to the MSSM mu problem. We present various examples in field theory and string-derived models.
