A Note on Softly Broken MQCD
arXiv:hep-th/9804029 · doi:10.1142/S0217732398001534
Abstract
We consider generic MQCD configurations with matter described by semi-infinte D4-branes and softly broken supersymmetry. We show that the matter sector does not introduce supersymmetry breaking parameters so that the most relevant supersymmetry breaking operator at low energies is the gaugino mass term. By studying the run-away properties of these models in the decoupling limit of the adjoint matter, we argue that these softly broken MQCD configurations fail to capture the infrared physics of QCD at scales below the gaugino mass scale.
