Metastable Vacua in Superconformal SQCD-like Theories
Antonio Amariti, Luciano Girardello, Alberto Mariotti +1
We study dynamical supersymmetry breaking in vector-like superconformal N=1 gauge theories. We find appropriate deformations of the superpotential to overcome the problem of the in…
Pseudomoduli Dark Matter and Quiver Gauge Theories
Antonio Amariti, Luciano Girardello, Alberto Mariotti
We investigate supersymmetric models for dark matter which is represented by pseudomoduli in weakly coupled hidden sectors. We propose a scheme to add a dark matter sector to quive…
The Three Dimensional Dual of 4D Chirality
M. Porrati, L. Girardello
Chiral gauge theories can be defined in four-dimensional Anti de Sitter space, but AdS boundary conditions explicitly break the chiral symmetry in a specific, well defined manner,…
3D Seiberg-like Dualities and M2 Branes
Antonio Amariti, Davide Forcella, Luciano Girardello +1
We investigate features of duality in three dimensional N=2 Chern-Simons matter theories conjectured to describe M2 branes at toric Calabi Yau four-fold singularities. For 3D theor…
Metastable vacua and geometric deformations
A. Amariti, D. Forcella, L. Girardello +1
We study the geometric interpretation of metastable vacua for systems of D3 branes at non isolated toric deformable singularities. Using the L^{aba} examples, we investigate the re…
Meta-stable A_n quiver gauge theories
A. Amariti, L. Girardello, A. Mariotti
We study metastable dynamical breaking of supersymmetry in A_n quiver gauge theories. We present a general analysis and criteria for the perturbative existence of metastable vacua…
