Thermal evolution of the non-supersymmetric metastable vacua in $ \mathcal{N}=2 $ SU(2) SYM softly broken to $ \mathcal{N}=1 $

Abstract: It has been shown that four dimensional N = 2 gauge theories, softly broken to N = 1 by a superpotential term, can accommodate metastable nonsupersymmetric vacua in their moduli space. We study the SU (2) theory at high temperatures in order to determine whether a cooling universe settles in the metastable vacuum at zero temperature. We show that the corrections to the free energy because of the BPS dyons are such that may destroy the existence of the metastable vacuum at high temperatures. Nevertheless we dem… Show more

“…In the framework of N ¼ 2 supersymmetric gauge theory, some supersymmetry breaking models with Uð1Þ R symmetry breaking were considered [22][23][24][25][26]. It would be interesting to study effects of the finite temperature in those models (see also [27]). In this section, we consider series expansions of the thermal functions at high temperature.…”

“…The key issue to realize the U(1) R-symmetry breaking is that the model should include multi-flavors with a peculiar choice of different U(1) R-charges [11]. The generalized O'Raifeartaigh models with finite temperatures have been studied to investigate thermal history of supersymmetry breaking vacua in the early universe [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19]. Effects of finite temperature and a chemical potential to the U(1) R-symmetry breaking have been studied for a supersymmetric model with a single flavor [20] 1 , where the chemical potential breaks the U(1) R-symmetry even at high temperatures.…”
