A Peculiar Dynamically Warped Theory Space Christopher D. Carone Particle Theory Group, Department of Physics, College of William and Mary, 6 Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795 0 0 2 Abstract. We study a supersymmetric deconstructed gauge theory in which a warp factor t emerges dynamically, driven by Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. The model is peculiar in that it c possesses a global supersymmetry that remains unbroken despite nonvanishing D-term O vacuum expectation values. Inclusion of gravity and/or additional messenger fields leads to the collective breaking of supersymmetry and to an unusual phenomenology. 1 3 1 INTRODUCTION v 2 4 1 In this talk , we consider a four-dimensional, linear “moose” model that decon- 4 0 structs [1] a slice of five-dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space [2]. The profile 1 of link field vacuum expectation values (vevs) along the moose can be chosen to 6 replicate the effects of a warp factor in the higher-dimensional theory. The ques- 0 / tion we study is whether the necessary profile can be generated dynamically and h naturally. In Ref. [3], we present a number of examples where a monotonically p - varying warp factor is obtained by assuming a translational symmetry along the p e moose and specific choices for boundary conditions at its ends. Here, we focus on h a supersymmetric example in which a warp factor is driven by Fayet-Iliopoulos : v (FI) terms
