Abstract: (arXiv)
We prove a general bound on the superpotential in theories with broken supersymmetry and broken R-symmetry, 2|W|< f_a F, where f_a and F are the R-axion and Goldstino decay constants, respectively. The bound holds for weakly coupled as well as strongly coupled theories, thereby providing an exact result in theories with broken supersymmetry. We briefly discuss several possible applications.
  • Supersymmetry Breaking
  • Supersymmetric Effective Theories
  • supersymmetry: symmetry breaking
  • superpotential: upper limit
  • Goldstino: decay constant
  • axion: decay constant
  • R parity: violation
  • approximation: weak coupling
  • approximation: strong coupling
  • sigma model: linear
