Pseudomoduli Dark Matter and Quiver Gauge Theories

Understand

We investigate supersymmetric models for dark matter which is represented by pseudomoduli in weakly coupled hidden sectors.

• We propose a scheme to add a dark matter sector to quiver gauge theories with metastable supersymmetry breaking.
• We discuss the embedding of such scheme in string theory and we describe the dark matter sector in terms of D7 flavour branes.
• We explore the phenomenology in various regions of the parameters.
