Supersymmetric Musings on the Predictivity of Family Symmetries
arXiv:1007.1532 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.82.085022
Abstract
We discuss the predictivity of family symmetries for the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters in the framework of supergravity. We show that unknown details of the messenger sector and the supersymmetry breaking hidden sector enter into the soft parameters, making it difficult to obtain robust predictions. We find that there are specific choices of messenger fields which can improve the predictivity for the soft parameters.
