Abstract By extending a previously proposed conformal gauge mediation model, we construct a gauge-mediated SUSY breaking (GMSB) model where a SUSY-breaking scale, a messenger mass, the μ-parameter and the gravitino mass in a minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) Standard Model (MSSM) are all explained by a single mass scale, a R-symmetry breaking scale. We focus on a low scale SUSY-breaking scenario with the gravitino mass m3/2 = $$ \mathcal{O}(1)\mathrm{eV} $$ O 1 eV , which is free from the cosmological gravitino problem and relaxes the fine-tuning of the cosmological constant. Both the messenger and SUSY-breaking sectors are subject to a hidden strong dynamics with the conformality above the messenger mass threshold (and hence the name of the model “strongly interacting conformal gauge mediation”). In our model, the Higgs B-term is suppressed and a large tan β is predicted, resulting in the relatively light second CP-even Higgs and the CP-odd Higgs with a sizable production cross section. These Higgs bosons can be tested at future LHC experiments.

In recent years it has been realized that pre-BBN decays of moduli can be a significant source of dark matter production, giving a "nonthermal WIMP miracle" and substantially reduced fine-tuning in cosmological axion physics. We study moduli masses and sharpen the claim that moduli dominated the pre-BBN universe. We conjecture that in any string theory with stabilized moduli there will be at least one modulus field whose mass is of order (or less than) the gravitino mass. Cosmology then generically requires the gravitino mass not be less than about 30 TeV and the cosmological history of the universe is nonthermal prior to BBN. Stable LSP's produced in these decays can account for the observed dark matter if they are "wino-like." We briefly consider implications for the LHC, rare decays, and dark matter direct detection and point out that these results could prove challenging for models attempting to realize gauge mediation in string theory.

Abstract A keV-scale gravitino arising from a minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) Standard Model (MSSM) is an interesting possibility since the small scale problems that the ΛCDM model encounters in the modern cosmology could be alleviated with the keV-scale gravitino serving as the warm dark matter (WDM). Such a light gravitino asks for a low scale supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking for which the gauge mediation (GM) is required as a consistent SUSY-breaking mediation mechanism. In this paper, we show upper bounds of the masses of the second CP-even Higgs boson H and the CP-odd Higgs boson A, assuming the keV-scale gravitino to be responsible for the current DM relic abundance: the upper bound on the mass of H/A is found to be ∼ 4 TeV for the gravitino mass of $$ \mathcal{O}\left(10-100\right) $$ O 10 − 100 keV. Interestingly, the mass of H/A can be as small as 2–3 TeV and the predicted tan β is as large as 55–60 for the gravitino mass of $$ \mathcal{O}(10) $$ O 10 keV. This will be tested in the near future Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments.

Abstract We discuss the problem of metastable SUSY breaking in the landscape. While this is clearly crucial for the various de Sitter proposals, it is also interesting to consider the SUSY breaking challenge in the AdS context. For example, it could be that a stronger form of the non-SUSY AdS conjecture holds: it would forbid even metastable non-SUSY AdS in cases where the SUSY-breaking scale is parametrically above/below the AdS scale. At the technical level, the present paper proposes to break SUSY using the multi-cosine-shaped axion potentials which arise if a long winding trajectory of a ‘complex-structure axion’ appears in the large-complex-structure limit of a Calabi-Yau orientifold. This has been studied in the context of ‘Winding Inflation’, but the potential for SUSY breaking has not been fully explored. We discuss the application to uplifting LVS vacua, point out the challenges which one faces in the KKLT context, and consider the possibility of violating the non-SUSY AdS conjecture in the type-IIA setting of DGKT.

The gauge symmetry breaking in some versions of 3-3-1 models can be implemented dynamically because at the scale of a few TeVs the U(1)X coupling constant becomes strong. In this work, we consider the dynamical symmetry breaking in a minimal SU(3) TC × SU(3)L × U(1)X model, where we propose a new scheme to cancel the chiral anomalies, including two-index symmetric (6) technifermions, which incorporates naturally the walking behavior in the Technicolor (TC) sector. The composite scalar content of the model is minimal and all the symmetry breaking is implemented by a multiplet of technifermions. The choice of TC representations not only provides the anomaly cancelation with a walking behavior, but is crucial to promote the model's full dynamical symmetry breaking. We consider the dynamical generation of technigluon masses and, depending on the 3-3-1 symmetry breaking scale (μ331), we verify that the technigluon mass is strongly linked to the Z′ mass scale, for instance, if μ331 = 1 TeV , we have MZ′ > 1 TeV only if M TG < 350 GeV .

The hidden sector of the E8×E′8 heterotic superstring theory of Gross et al. can in principle contain additional "shadow" matter, interacting only gravitationally with the real world in which we live. The SU (3)′ C × SU (2)′ L × U (1)′ Y shadow configuration symmetric to the standard model has been ruled out by Kolb et al. from nucleosynthesis arguments, combined with the existence of three light neutrinos. In the absence of inflation and of entropy enhancement by the out-of-equilibrium decay of an unstable particle, the same exclusion applies to the unbroken E′8 hidden gauge group, assuming thermodynamical equilibrium with the observable sector E6 group, and consequently all breaking chains E′8→ G1×G2×⋯, since they can only reduce the effective number of four-dimensional degrees of freedom g eff . The hidden sector would then appear to be in its vacuum state, which implies the absence of all condensates as well, if their potentials are positive semi-definite. In this case, and if there is no anomalous U(1) symmetry in the observable sector, the QCD axion is the model-independent axion, whose decay constant [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] is the strong-interaction coupling parameter) requires a fine-tuning of the initial value of this axion field to ai/fa≲3×10-3, in order not to overclose the Universe today, supersymmetry being broken by gauge mediation. Vice versa, if ai/fa~1, then hidden-sector gaugino condensation is necessary for there to be a sufficiently massive gravitino, whose decay can increase the entropy. Astronomical microlensing observations may help to discriminate between these two cases.

Here we test the predictions of the theory of the origin of the universe from the landscape multiverse, against the 2015 Planck data, for the case of the Hilltop class of inflationary models, for p = 4 and p = 6 . By considering the quantum entanglement correction of the multiverse, we can place just a lower limit on the local ’SUSY-breaking’ scale, respectively b > 8.7 × 10 6 G e V at 95 % c.l. and b > 1.3 × 10 8 G e V at 95 % c.l. from Planck TT+lowP, so the case with multiverse correction is statistically indistinguishable from the case with an unmodified inflation. We find that the series of anomalies predicted by the quantum landscape multiverse for the allowed range of b, is consistent with Planck’s tests of the anomalies. In addition, the friction between the two cosmological probes of the Hubble parameter and with the weak lensing experiments goes away for a particular subset, the p = 6 case of Hilltop models.
