SUSY/non-SUSY duality in image gauge model with partially broken image supersymmetry Original Research Article

We study the vacuum structure of the image gauge model with partially broken image supersymmetry. From the analysis of the classical vacua of this model, we point out that in addition to the ordinary image supersymmetric vacua, there are vacua with negative gauge coupling constants, which preserve another image supersymmetry. These latter vacua can be analyzed by using SUSY/non-SUSY duality which is recently proposed by Aganagic, Beem, Seo and Vafa. A dual description of these in UV is image gauge theory where the supersymmetry is broken by spurion superfields. Following them, we see that there are supersymmetry preserving vacua as well as supersymmetry breaking vacua of low energy effective theory.
