One Loop Soft Supersymmetry Breaking Terms in Superstring Effective Theories
Pierre Binetruy, Mary K. Gaillard, Brent D. Nelson
We perform a systematic analysis of soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the one loop level in a large class of string effective field theories. This includes the so-called anomaly…
Probing large-distance higher-dimensional gravity with Cosmic Microwave Background measurements
Pierre Binetruy, Joseph Silk
It has been recently argued that higher dimensional gravity theories may manifest themselves not only at short microscopic distances but also at large cosmological scales. We study…
Dynamical Instability of Brane Solutions with a Self-Tuning Cosmological Constant
P. Binetruy, J. M. Cline, C. Grojean
A five-dimensional solution to Einstein's equations coupled to a scalar field has been proposed as a partial solution to the cosmological constant problem: the effect of arbitrary…
Supergravity couplings: a geometric formulation
P. Binetruy, G. Girardi, R. Grimm
This report provides a pedagogical introduction to the description of the general Poincare supergravity/matter/Yang-Mills couplings using methods of Kahler superspace geometry. At…
Cosmological constant vs. quintessence
Pierre Binetruy
There is some evidence that the Universe is presently undergoing accelerating expansion. This has restored some credit to the scenarios with a non-vanishing cosmological constant.…
