Generating Small Numbers by Tunneling in Multi-Throat Compactifications
S. Dimopoulos, S. Kachru, N. Kaloper +2
A generic F-theory compactification containing many D3 branes develops multiple brane throats. The interaction of observers residing inside different throats involves tunneling sup…
Soft Supersymmetry Breaking and the Supersymmetric Standard Model
Savas Dimopoulos
We recall how the idea of Softly Broken Supersymmetry led to the construction of the Supersymmetric Standard Model in 1981. Its first prediction, the supersymmetric unification of…
Small Numbers from Tunneling Between Brane Throats
S. Dimopoulos, S. Kachru, N. Kaloper +2
Generic classes of string compactifications include ``brane throats'' emanating from the compact dimensions and separated by effective potential barriers raised by the background g…
Little String Theory at a TeV
Ignatios Antoniadis, Savas Dimopoulos, Amit Giveon
We propose a framework where the string scale as well as all compact dimensions are at the electroweak scale TeV. The weakness of gravity is attributed to the small v…
