Softening of SUSY flavor problem from asymptotically free bulk interactions
Kang-Sin Choi, Ki-Young Choi, Jihn E. Kim
Recently, it was pointed out that soft masses of the supersymmetric gauge theories with extra dimensions tends to a flavor conserving point, which is a desirable scenario in gravit…
Grand unification of flavor by orbifold twisting and
Jihn E. Kim
The grand unification of flavor(GUF) in extra dimensions is discussed. After reviewing the old GUF, I present a GUF model SU(7) in 5D with the recently popular field theoretic orbi…
A Quintessential Axion
Jihn E. Kim, Hans Peter Nilles
The model independent axion of string theory has a decay constant of order of the Planck scale. We explore the properties of this quintessence candidate (quintaxion) in the scheme…
Inflation with blowing-up solution of cosmological constant problem
Jihn E. Kim
The cosmological constant problem is how one chooses, without fine-tuning, one singular point for the 4D cosmological constant. We argue that some recently discovered {…
More self-tuning solutions with
Jihn E. Kim, Hyun Min Lee
We find more self-tuning solutions by introducing a general form for Lagrangian of a 3-index antisymmetric tensor field in the RS II model. In particular, for the logarit…
A review of self-tuning solutions of cosmological constant
Jihn E. Kim
The self-tuning solutions of the cosmological constant is reviewed, with the emphasis on the recent attempts in extra dimensional gravity with a brane boundary.
