Dynamical Vacuum Selection in String Theory

arXiv:0909.3319 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2010.02.027

Abstract

We study a system of D-branes localized near an intersection of Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes, that is known to exhibit a landscape of supersymmetric and (metastable) supersymmetry breaking vacua. We show that early universe cosmology drives it to a particular long-lived supersymmetry breaking ground state.
