A Peculiar Dynamically Warped Theory Space

Abstract

We study a supersymmetric deconstructed gauge theory in which a warp factor emerges dynamically, driven by Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. The model is peculiar in that it possesses a global supersymmetry that remains unbroken despite nonvanishing D-term vacuum expectation values. Inclusion of gravity and/or additional messenger fields leads to the collective breaking of supersymmetry and to an unusual phenomenology.
