Bounds on SCFTs from Conformal Perturbation Theory
Daniel Green, David Shih
The operator product expansion (OPE) in 4d (super)conformal field theory is of broad interest, for both formal and phenomenological applications. In this paper, we use conformal pe…
Spontaneous R-symmetry Breaking with Multiple Pseudomoduli
David Curtin, Zohar Komargodski, David Shih +1
We examine generalized O'Raifeartaigh models that feature multiple tree-level flat directions and only contain fields with R-charges 0 or 2. We show that spontaneous R-breaking at…
Anomalous Dimensions of Non-Chiral Operators from AdS/CFT
A. Liam Fitzpatrick, David Shih
Non-chiral operators with positive anomalous dimensions can have interesting applications to supersymmetric model building. Motivated by this, we develop a new method for obtaining…
Notes on SUSY and R-Symmetry Breaking in Wess-Zumino Models
Zohar Komargodski, David Shih
We study aspects of Wess-Zumino models related to SUSY and R-symmetry breaking at tree-level. We present a recipe for constructing a wide class of tree-level SUSY and R-breaking mo…
Surveying Pseudomoduli: the Good, the Bad and the Incalculable
Kenneth Intriligator, David Shih, Matthew Sudano
We classify possible types of pseudomoduli which arise when supersymmetry is dynamically broken in infrared-free low-energy theories. We show that, even if the pseudomoduli potenti…
Dynamical SUSY and R-symmetry breaking in SQCD with massive and massless flavors
Amit Giveon, Andrey Katz, Zohar Komargodski +1
We show that supersymmetry and R-symmetry can be dynamically broken in a long-lived metastable vacuum of SQCD with massive and massless flavors. The vacuum results from a competiti…
