Branes and Vector-like Supersymmetry Breaking Theories with Gauged Global Symmetry

Abstract

We show that the brane configuration describing the Izawa-Yanagida-Intriligator-Thomas (IYIT) model with gauged U(1) subgroup of the global symmetry contains inconsistent geometry, implying that there exists a stable vacuum where supersymmetry is dynamically broken.
