Holographic realization of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking

The general gauge mediation scenario provides a framework in which properties of a visible sector with soft supersymmetry breaking are computed from current correlation functions in the supersymmetry breaking hidden sector. In this paper we will use holography to model strongly coupled hidden sectors by weakly curved geometries and describe how the current correlators relevant for general gauge mediation are computed by holographic methods. We illustrate the general setup by a toy example which captures most of the relevant features.Comment: 11 pages, v2: comments and refs added, JHEP versio

Holography for Schrodinger backgrounds

We discuss holography for Schrodinger solutions of both topologically massivegravity in three dimensions and massive vector theories in (d+1) dimensions. Inboth cases the dual field theory can be viewed as a d-dimensional conformalfield theory (two dimensional in the case of TMG) deformed by certain operatorsthat respect the Schrodinger symmetry. These operators are irrelevant from theviewpoint of the relativistic conformal group but they are exactly marginalwith respect to the non-relativistic conformal group. The spectrum of linearfluctuations around the background solutions corresponds to operators that arelabeled by their scaling dimension and the lightcone momentum k_v. We set upthe holographic dictionary and compute 2-point functions of these operatorsboth holographically and in field theory using conformal perturbation theoryand find agreement. The counterterms needed for holographic renormalization arenon-local in the v lightcone direction.<br/
