We analyze metastable supersymmetry breaking in 3D WZ models. We study the regime of validity of the perturbative computation for superpotentials with marginal and relevant couplings. Lifetime of the

We study the geometric interpretation of metastable vacua for systems of D3 branes at non isolated toric deformable singularities. Using the Laba examples, we investigate the relations between the

We analyze two loop quantum corrections for pseudomoduli in O'Raifeartaigh like models. We argue that R-symmetry can be spontaneously broken at two loop in non supersymmetric vacua. We provide a
We show that supersymmetric Abelian models that are obtained from deformations of those with ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry also contain metastable vacua for a wide range of parameters. The deformations
We construct Abelian brane models with metastable vacua which are obtained from deformations of ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric brane configurations. One such model lives on a D4 brane stretched between

In a recent paper [1] we showed that N = 1 supersymmetric QCD in the presence of certain superpotential deformations has a rich landscape of supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric vacua. In this paper
We study supersymmetry breaking metastable vacua arising from beta deformed quiver gauge theories. The relation between the bounds on metastability and the deformation are discussed. Metastable
