The One-Loop Effective Kähler Potential. I: Chiral Multiplets
Raphael Flauger, Simeon Hellerman, Cornelius Schmidt-Colinet +1
We derive a universal formula for the one-loop renormalization of the effective Kähler potential that applies to general supersymmetric effective field theories of chiral multiplet…
The Romelsberger Index, Berkooz Deconfinement, and Infinite Families of Seiberg Duals
Matthew Sudano
Romelsberger's index has been argued to be an RG-invariant and, therefore, Seiberg-duality-invariant object that counts protected operators in the IR SCFT of an N=1 theory. These c…
Simplified R-Symmetry Breaking and Low-Scale Gauge Mediation
Jason L. Evans, Masahiro Ibe, Matthew Sudano +1
We argue that some of the difficulties in constructing realistic models of low-scale gauge mediation are artifacts of the narrow set of models that have been studied. In particular…
Higgs Messengers
Jason L. Evans, Matthew Sudano, Tsutomu T. Yanagida
We explore the consequences of the Higgs fields acting as messengers of supersymmetry breaking. The hidden-sector paradigm in the gauge mediation framework is relaxed by allowing t…
General Gaugino Mediation
Matthew Sudano
The spectrum of a class of gaugino mediation models with arbitrary hidden sector is considered. These models are defined by a diagonal breaking of the mediating gauge group, which…
A CP-safe solution of the mu/ Bmu problem of gauge mediation
Jason L. Evans, Matthew Sudano, Tsutomu T. Yanagida
We construct a model that naturally generates mu and B of the same order without producing large CP violating phases. This is easily accomplished once one permits these mass scales…
Global Symmetries and D-Terms in Supersymmetric Field Theories
Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Zohar Komargodski, Matthew Sudano
We study the role of D-terms in supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking. By carefully analyzing the SUSY multiplets containing various conserved currents in theories with global symmetries,…
Testing the Nambu-Goldstone Hypothesis for Quarks and Leptons at the LHC
Sourav K. Mandal, Mihoko Nojiri, Matthew Sudano +1
The hierarchy of the Yukawa couplings is an outstanding problem of the standard model. We present a class of models in which the first and second generation fermions are SUSY partn…
General Gauge Mediation with Gauge Messengers
Kenneth Intriligator, Matthew Sudano
We generalize the General Gauge Mediation formalism to allow for the possibility of gauge messengers. Gauge messengers occur when charged matter fields of the susy-breaking sector…
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…
Comments on General Gauge Mediation
Kenneth Intriligator, Matthew Sudano
There has been interest in generalizing models of gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking. As shown by Meade, Seiberg, and Shih (MSS), the soft masses of general gauge mediation…
Sparticle Masses in Higgsed Gauge Mediation
Elie Gorbatov, Matthew Sudano
We generalize the gauge sector of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking to allow for an arbitrary gauge group with an arbitrary supersymmetric Higgsing. The sparticle masses are co…
The Exact Superconformal R-symmetry Minimizes
Edwin Barnes, Elie Gorbatov, Ken Intriligator +2
We present a new, general constraint which, in principle, determines the superconformal symmetry of 4d SCFTs, and also 3d SCFTs. Among all possibilities, t…
