Metastable Supersymmetry Breaking in a Cooling Universe
Vadim S. Kaplunovsky
I put metastable supersymmetry breaking in a cosmological context. I argue that under reasonable assumptions, the cooling down early Universe favors metastable SUSY-breaking vacua…
Classical Renormalization of Codimension-two Brane Couplings
Claudia de Rham
The curvature on codimension-two and higher branes is not regular for arbitrary matter sources. Nevertheless, the low-energy theory for an observer on such a brane should be well-d…
Solar System Constraints on Gauss-Bonnet Dark Energy
Stephen C. Davis
Quadratic curvature Gauss-Bonnet gravity may be the solution to the dark energy problem, but a large coupling strength is required. This can lead to conflict with laboratory and pl…
A new non-perturbative time-dependent string configuration
Jean Alexandre
A time-dependent bosonic string configuration is discussed, in graviton and dilaton backgrounds, leading to Weyl-symmetry beta-functions which are homogeneous in X^0, to any order…
