Exploring Holographic General Gauge Mediation

Understand

We study models of gauge mediation with strongly coupled hidden sectors, employing a hard wall background as an holographic dual description.

• The structure of the soft spectrum depends crucially on the boundary conditions one imposes on bulk fields at the IR wall.
• Generically, vector and fermion correlators have poles at zero momentum, leading to gauge mediation by massive vector messengers and/or generating Dirac gaugino masses.
• Instead, non-generic choices of boundary conditions let one cover all of GGM parameter space.
