The Octagon and the Non-Supersymmetric String Landscape

arXiv:2005.09671 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2021.136153

Abstract

We present an orientifold of a toric singularity allowing for a configuration of fractional branes which corresponds to a gauge theory that dynamically breaks supersymmetry in a stable vacuum. This model represents the first such instance within the gauge/gravity duality.
