Abstract

Globally supersymmetric theories often have several degenerate supersymmetric vacua. Gravitation splits this degeneracy in such a way that at most one of these vacuum solutions has energy density and cosmological constant equal to zero, while all the rest have negative energy density. Nevertheless, the vacuum with vanishing energy density is stable against decay into the others.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Even if W is fine-tuned so that there is a supersymmetric stationary point with W=0 and V=0, such a solution would not in general be the state of lowest energy, though it would be stable.

    “In fact, even if we fine-tuned W so that there were a supersymmetric stationary point at which W =0 and hence V =0, such a solution would not, in general, be the state of lowest energy, though it would be stable [Coleman and de Luccia (1980), Weinberg (1982)].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
