We review the subject of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. First we consider supersymmetry breaking in a semiclassical theory. We illustrate it with several examples, demonstrating different phenomena, including metastable supersymmetry breaking. Then we give a brief review of the dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories. Finally, we use this dynamics to present various mechanisms for dynamical supersymmetry breaking. This paper is based on lectures given by the authors in 2007, at various…

Supersymmetry Breaking and Gauge Mediation

We review recent works on supersymmetry breaking and gauge mediation. We survey our current understanding of dynamical supersymmetry-breaking mechanisms and describe new model-building tools that use…

Aspects of supersymmetry and its breaking

Dynamical supersymmetry breaking in intersecting brane models

In this paper we study dynamical supersymmetry breaking in absence of gravity with the matter content of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The hidden sector of the theory is a strongly…

After this long detour on quantum properties of supersymmetric gauge theories, we can now go back to supersymmetry breaking, and finally discuss models where supersymmetry is broken by strong…

Supersymmetry breaking, R-symmetry breaking and metastable vacua

Models of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking generically have an R-symmetry, which is problematic for obtaining gaugino masses and avoiding light R-axions. The situation is improved in models of…

Meta-Stable Vacua in Supersymmetric QCD

This masters thesis discusses some aspects of four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. More specifically, it discusses a method to break supersymmetry spontaneously in certain gauge theories…

Dynamical supersymmetry breaking in large Nc supersymmetric QCD

We study dynamical supersymmetry breaking in supersymmetric QCD theories for $N_f<N_c$. We consider a model with a singlet chiral superfield coupled to the infrared meson chiral superfield through a…

Gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking in five dimensions

In this thesis we focus on the construction of models in which a supersymmetry breaking hidden sector is located on one fixed point of an extra dimensional interval and the effects are gauge mediated…

Dual descriptions of supersymmetry breaking

Dynamical supersymmetry breaking is considered in models which admit descriptions in terms of electric, confined, or magnetic degrees of freedom in various limits. In this way, a variety of seemingly…

Dynamical soft terms with unbroken supersymmetry

New mechanisms of dynamical supersymmetry breaking and direct gauge mediation

We construct supersymmetric gauge theories with new mechanisms of dynamical supersymmetry breaking. The models have flat directions at the classical level, and different mechanisms lift these flat…

Dynamical Breaking of Supersymmetry

We should be taking advantage of recent gains in our nonperturbative understanding of supersymmetric gauge theories to find the “standard” model of of dynamical supersymmetry breaking, and possibly…

Gauge mediation in metastable vacua

Until recently, dynamical supersymmetry breaking seemed an exceptional phenomenon, involving chiral gauge theories with a special structure. Recently it has become clear that requiring only…
