The Fate of Nearly Supersymmetric Vacua

Dine, Michael, Festuccia, Guido, Morisse, Alexander

Understand

Supersymmetric vacua are stable.

  • It is interesting to ask: how long-lived are vacua which are nearly supersymmetric? This question is relevant if our universe is approximately supersymmetric.
  • It is also of importance for a number of issues of the physics of the landscape and eternal inflation.
  • In this note, we distinguish a variety of cases.
