Constraints for the existence of flat and stable non-supersymmetric vacua in supergravity

Claudio Scrucca

We further develop on the study of the conditions for the existence of locally stable non-supersymmetric vacua with vanishing cosmological constant in supergravity models involving only chiral super fields. Starting from the two necessary conditions for fl ...

Minimal gauge-Higgs unification with a flavour symmetry

Claudio Scrucca

We show that a flavour symmetry a la Froggatt-Nielsen can be naturally incorporated in models with gauge-Higgs unification, by exploiting the heavy fermions that are anyhow needed to realize realistic Yukawa couplings. The case of the minimal five-dimensio ...

Mediation of supersymmetry breaking in extra dimensions

Claudio Scrucca

We review the mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking mediation that occur in sequestered models, where the visible and the hidden sectors are separated by an extra dimension and communicate only via gravitational interactions. By locality, soft breaking term ...

D-type supersymmetry breaking and brane-to-brane gravity mediation

Riccardo Rattazzi, Claudio Scrucca

We revisit the issue of gravitational contributions to soft masses in five-dimensional sequestered models. We point out that, unlike for the case of F-type supersymmetry breaking, for D-type breaking these effects generically give positive soft masses squa ...

Gravitational quantum corrections in warped supersymmetric brane worlds

Riccardo Rattazzi, Claudio Scrucca

We study gravitational quantum corrections in supersymmetric theories with warped extra dimensions. We develop for this a superfield formalism for linearized gauged supergravity. We show that the 1-loop effective Kahler potential is a simple functional of ...

Gauge-Higgs unification in orbifold models

Claudio Scrucca, Andrea Wulzer

Six-dimensional orbifold models where the Higgs field is identified with some internal component of a gauge field are considered. We classify all possible T-2/Z(N) orbifold constructions based on a SU(3) electroweak gauge symmetry. Depending on the orbifol ...

Anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions

Claudio Scrucca

We give an overview of the issue of anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions. We start by reviewing in a pedagogical way the computation of the standard perturbative gauge and gravitational anomalies on noncompact spaces, using Fujikawa's approach ...

Brane to brane gravity mediation of supersymmetry breaking

Riccardo Rattazzi, Claudio Scrucca

We extend the results of Mirabelli and Peskin to supergravity. We study the compactification on S-1/Z(2) of Zucker's off-shell formulation of 5D supergravity and its coupling to matter at the fixed points. We clarify some issues related to the off-shell de ...

2003

Electroweak symmetry breaking and fermion masses from extra dimensions

Claudio Scrucca

We study higher-dimensional non-supersymmetric orbifold models where the Higgs field is identified with some internal component of a gauge field. We address two important and related issues that constitute severe obstacles towards model building within thi ...

Open string models with Scherk-Schwarz SUSY breaking and localized anomalies

Claudio Scrucca

We study examples of chiral four-dimensional IIB orientifolds with Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking, based on freely acting orbifolds. We construct a new Z(3) x Z(3)' model, containing only D9-branes, and rederive from a more geometric perspective the ...
