Wilson Lines and Symmetry Breaking on Orbifolds
Lawrence J. Hall, Hitoshi Murayama, Yasunori Nomura
Gauge symmetry breaking by boundary conditions on a manifold is known to be equivalent to Wilson-line breaking through a background gauge field, and is therefore spontaneous. These…
New Confining N=1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Csaba Csaki, Hitoshi Murayama
We examine N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories which confine in the presence of a tree-level superpotential. We show the confining spectra which satisfy the 't Hooft anomaly matching…
Discrete Anomaly Matching
Csaba Csaki, Hitoshi Murayama
We extend the well-known 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions for continuous global symmetries to discrete groups. We state the matching conditions for all possible anomalies which…
A Geometry of the Generations
Lawrence J. Hall, Hitoshi Murayama
We propose a geometric theory of flavor based on the discrete group , in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The group treats three objects symmetric…
New Symmetries of Supersymmetric Effective Lagrangians
Markus A. Luty, John March-Russell, Hitoshi Murayama
We consider the structure of effective lagrangians describing the low-energy dynamics of supersymmetric theories in which a global symmetry is spontaneously broken to a subgrou…
