Description
Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking or AMSB is a promising new technique that allows one to use the solvability of SUSY chiral theories and translate that in a standard way into non-SUSY theories. I will discuss how this new method works and apply it to a certain set of chiral gauge theories with fields in the fundamental, antifundamental and antisymmetric representations. I find that this set of theories obtains a stable minima and passes many nontrivial checks such as t ‘Hooft anomaly cancellation.
