Resurgent SUSY, Accidental SUSY and String Theory

This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.

Abstract: I will discuss the mechanism of accidental SUSY, the notion of having non-supersymmetric RG flows ending on supersymmetric fixed points, from the point of view of QFT, RS and string theory. I will also discuss the mechanism's utility in BSM model building, specifically as a way of UV-completing natural SUSY in the model of "resurgent SUSY", solving both the little and big hierarchy problems. I will argue that a Z2 orbifold of the Klebanov-Strassler solution exhibits accidental SUSY, and furthermore is a prototype for the strong sector that should be present in resurgent SUSY.
