Mechanisms for Supersymmetry Breaking in Open String Vacua
arXiv:hep-th/0601158
Abstract
We investigate mechanisms that can trigger supersymmetry breaking in open string vacua. The focus is on backgrounds with D-branes and orientifold planes that have an exact string description, and allow to study some of the quantum effects induced by supersymmetry breaking.
