Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking in String Compactifications
Duiliu-Emanuel Diaconescu, Bogdan Florea, Shamit Kachru +1
We provide string theory examples where a toy model of a SUSY GUT or the MSSM is embedded in a compactification along with a gauge sector which dynamically breaks supersymmetry. We…
Complex/Symplectic Mirrors
Wu-yen Chuang, Shamit Kachru, Alessandro Tomasiello
We construct a class of symplectic non--Kaehler and complex non--Kaehler string theory vacua, extending and providing evidence for an earlier suggestion by Polchinski and Strominge…
N-flation
Savas Dimopoulos, Shamit Kachru, John McGreevy +1
The presence of many axion fields in four-dimensional string vacua can lead to a simple, radiatively stable realization of chaotic inflation.
Type IIA Moduli Stabilization
Oliver DeWolfe, Alexander Giryavets, Shamit Kachru +1
We demonstrate that flux compactifications of type IIA string theory can classically stabilize all geometric moduli. For a particular orientifold background, we explicitly construc…
Fixing All Moduli in a Simple F-Theory Compactification
Frederik Denef, Michael R. Douglas, Bogdan Florea +2
We discuss a simple example of an F-theory compactification on a Calabi-Yau fourfold where background fluxes, together with nonperturbative effects from Euclidean D3 instantons and…
Predictive Landscapes and New Physics at a TeV
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Savas Dimopoulos, Shamit Kachru
We propose that the Standard Model is coupled to a sector with an enormous landscape of vacua, where only the dimensionful parameters--the vacuum energy and Higgs masses--are finel…
