We propose a GUT model in which visible matter and messengers are treated in unified way what unavoidably leads to messenger-matter mixed Yukawa interactions. Influence of this mixing on the fermion masses and the weak mixing angles is discussed.
In this paper we consider U(1)-gauged Polony'i model with two spurions coupled to a twisted closed string modulus. This offers a consistent setup for metastable SUSY breakdown which allows for moduli stabilization and naturally leads to gauge or hybrid gauge/gravitational mediation mechanism. Due to the presence of the second spurion one can arrange for a solution of the μand B_μproblems in a version of modified Giudice-Masiero mechanism, which works both in the limit of pure gauge mediation and in the mixed regime of hybrid mediation.
An elementary method of determination of the character of the hot phase transition in 4d four-fermion NJL-type models is applied to non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric versions of simple NJL model. We find that in the non-susy case the transition is usually of the second order. It is weakly first order only in the region of parameters which correspond to fermion masses comparable to the cut-off. In the supersymmetric case both kinds of phase transitions are possible. For sufficiently strong coupling and sufficiently large susy-breaking scale the transition is always of the first order.
We describe a way in which spin of quarks can enter a consistent QCD string theory. We show that the spin factor of the 4d massless, spin 1/2 fermions is related to the self-intersection number of a 2d surfaces immersed in the 4d space. We argue that the latter quantity should appear in a consistent description of the QCD string. We also calculate the chiral anomaly and show that the self-intersection number corresponds to the topological charge $F{\tilde F}$ of QCD.
