SUPERSYMMETRY BREAKING IN ANTI-DE SITTER SPACE–TIME

Abstract

We study the questions of how supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in anti-de Sitter space–time. We verify that the would-be R-symmetry in AdS4 plays a central role for the existence of meta-stable supersymmetry breaking. To illustrate, some well-known models such as Poloyni models and O'Raifeartaigh models are investigated in detail. Our calculations are reliable in flat space–time limit and confirm us that meta-stable vacua are generic even though quantum corrections are taken into account.
