We consider breaking of supersymmetry in intersecting D-brane configurations by slight deviation of the angles from their supersymmetric values. We compute the masses generated by radiative corrections for the ad joint scalars on the brane world-volumes. I ...
We perform a general study of the issue of metastability for supersymmetry-breaking vacua in theories with N=1 and N=2 global supersymmetry. This problem turns out to capture all the important qualitative features of the corresponding question in theories ...
We study the effects induced by heavy fields on the masses of light fields in supersymmetric theories, under the assumption that the heavy mass scale is much higher than the supersymmetry breaking scale. We show that the square-masses of light scalar field ...
We suggest a control based method to uncover the structure (i.e., the dynamics of each system, the coupling direction, and coupling functions) of coupled systems. We show that driving a coupled system to steady states can reveal the underlying controlled c ...
We set up a gauge finite element formulation of the 2D steady state incompressible Stokes problem. This formulation allows to decouple the two unknowns from the equations and to take account for the boundary conditions in a non-iterative way. A finite elem ...
This paper deals with model predictive control of uncertain linear discrete-time systems with polytopic constraints on the input and chance constraints on the states. When having polytopic constraints and bounded disturbances, the robust problem with an op ...
