Charge and color breaking minima and constraints on the MSSM parameters
arXiv:hep-ph/9604417 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(96)00554-8
Abstract
The MSSM potential can have unphysical minima deeper than the physically acceptable one. We point out that their presence is quite generic in SO(10) unification with supergravity mediated soft terms. However, at least for moderate values of tanβ, the physically acceptable vacuum has a life-time longer than the universe age. Furthermore, by discussing the evolution of the universe in an inflationary scenario, we show that the correct vacuum is the natural expectation. This is not the tendency in more general cases. Even in the SO(10) case, the weak assumptions necessary for this may prevent to use the \tildeνh^u direction for baryogenesis a la Affleck-Dine.
