Symmetry has been an obsession of modern physics since Einstein!
Through this obsession, we indulged ourselves in talking and boasting about the beauty of Physics!

Breaking of Supersymmetry

SUSY breaking determines the masses of the superpartners and in principle is vital to electroweak symmetry breaking.
SUSY breaking is unlike any other symmetry breaking, just as SUSY is unlike any other symmetry.
Whether it is a model of elegance and beauty in physics, or a bad dream you hope never realized, you decide .
It is really a Fearful Symmetry! Tony Zee
Tyger! Tyger! burning brightIn the forests of the nightWhat immortal hand or eyeCould frame thy fearful symmetry!

It shackles you with a rigor that smells more mathematics than physics!

SUSY algebra
The only non-trivial extension of symmetry in quantum field theory beyond Poincare symmetry and internal symmetry. It consists of symmetry with fermionic (anticommuting, spinorial) generators.
This supersymmetry identifies bosons and fermions!
SUSY Semi-Primer
Every Boson comes with a Fermion partner, which behaves identically, and vice versa.

Dynamical SUSY Breaking
Both FI and OR model contains scales k,f that are put in by hand. These scales generate SUSY breaking scale.
It is natural that we (with Witten) prefer a non-perturbative dynamic SUSY breaking mechanism where scale are generated by Dimensional Transmutation, just like Λ in QCD.

(The reverse is not true.)
Witten index is invariant under changes of the Hamiltonian that do not change the far away behavior of the potential!

SUSY breaking seems to be a rather non-generic phenomenon.
“The issue of SUSY breaking has a topological nature: it depends only on asymptotics and global properties of the theory.”
Witten index is non-zero for pure SUSY Yang-Mills theory.Gauge theories with massive vector-like matter, which flows to pure Yang-Mills at low energy, will also have a non-zero Witten indices.
For these two theories, SUSY is unbroken.
It is possible to calculate Witten index at weak coupling while applying the conclusion to strong coupling.

For small mass, the potential near the previous SUSY breaking minimum is not greatly modified.
It will still be locally stable. Hence it becomes a metastable vacuum!
The universe can live in the metastable vacua with SUSY broken. Globally, there is a SUSY vacuum, hence ensuring U(1)R is broken.
Using metastable state to break SUSY while keeping a SUSY ground state could help evade a lot of constraints such as Witten Index.
“Breaking SUSY by long-living metastable states is generic.”

The extrema are determined by the conditions:
Solutions is a local minimum if the following mass matrix contains only positive eigenvalues! This is the hard part!

A is a SUSY true vacuum, with R symmetry and a U(1) gauge symmetry.
B is a SUSY breaking metastable local minimum, with broken R symmetry and broken U(1) gauge symmetry.
As an example, choose

Lifetime of the metastable state
The metastable state tunnels to the true vacuum through instanton transition.
The decay rate per unit volume is
B is calculated from the distances in field space between barrier top (C) and metastable state (B) or true vacuum (A):
and the potential differences between similar combinations:

In the example:

This is large enough for the metastable lifetime to exceed the age of the universe.
Under certain conditions:

Our Model I: To simplify Dienes & Thomas Model
We throw away U(1)b
As an example:
We again find structures of minima:

The metastable minimum is a bit shallow!It will decrease the lifetime of B, but it turns out still OK.

We have constructed a model which is one field and one Abelien Gauge symmetry short of the Dienes Thomas Model, but achieves the same ground state structure.
The metastable local minimum is about as deep in DT and the distance between A,B is also about the same order. We expect the lifetime of metastable to exceed the age of the universe.

How about a model without mass terms?

Summary
1. Breaking SUSY by metastable states and allowing at the same time a SUSY vacuum let model building escape from the stringent constraints posed by the global nature of SUSY breaking. It becomes generic and easy to build.
2. This proposal can be realized at the tree level as suggested by Dienes and Thomas, in a beautiful combination of Wess-Zumino model and Fayet-Illiopoulos Model. Both F-term and D-term acquire non-zero VEV at the metastable local minimum.
3. We simplify this model by reducing the number of U(1) gauge symmetry and superfield and find it works as in DT.
4. Further clarification of why they work and the essence of DT’s proposal is still under investigation.
