Polonyi supersymmetry branches

ID: polonyi-supersymmetry-branches

For the Polonyi model with canonical Kähler potential and , , a constant supersymmetric vacuum with requires real and exists exactly for . Its supergravity F-term potential is negative because . For , the supergravity auxiliary field cannot vanish. If , the model is flat with unbroken supersymmetry. This parameter-dependent statement is sharper than asserting that every linear superpotential breaks supersymmetry in supergravity.
