Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observation s of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places – and even species – that are not w ell-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?A. They are becoming outdated.B. They are mostly in electronic form.C. They are limited in number.D. They are used for public exhibition.33. What does Daru’s study focus on?A. Threatened species.B. Physical specimens.C. Observational data.D. Mobile applications.34. What has led to the biases according to the study?A. Mistakes in data analysis.B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.C. Improper way of sampling.D. Unreliable data collection devices.35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?A. Review data from certain areas.B. Hire experts to check the records.C. Confirm the identity of the users.D.

The other options have mispronounced vowels or consonants.5、The sentence “She always has a smile on her face” emphasizes that sheis always __________.A. cheerfulC. nervousD. sadAnswer: A. cheerfulExplanation: The word “always” in the sentence indicates a constant state or behavior. The phrase “has a smile on her face” suggests that she is in a good mood or happy, which is best described by the word “cheerful.” The other options do not accurately capture the positive connotation of the sentence.二、词汇与语法知识(本大题有15小题,每小题2分,共30分)1、Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence below.The_______of the meeting was quite impressive.A. atmosphereB. audienceC. attendanceD. occasionAnswer: CExplanation: The correct answer is “attendance” because it refers to the number of people who were present at the meeting. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.2、Select the word that does not belong in the following list.A. enthusiasticC. exhaustedD. alertAnswer: CExplanation: The word “exhausted” does not belong in the list because it is an adjective that describes someone who is very tired, whereas “enthusiastic,” “energetic,” and “alert” all describe someone who is full of energy or has a positive, watchful attitude.3、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher___________the students to be quiet during the examination.A. requestedB. suggestedC. orderedD. recommendedAnswer: C. orderedExplanation: The correct choice is “ordered” because it indicates a direct command or instruction from the teacher.

The sentence describes an action that was happening at a specific past time (when the meeting was called to order), so the past continuous tense is appropriate. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the context or the tense required.7、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher was surprised by the student’s_ability to understand complex concepts.A)surpriseB)surprisedC)surprisingD)surpriseablyAnswer: C) surprisingExplanation: The correct answer is “surprising” because it is the adjective form that describes the student’s ability. “Surprise” is a noun, “surprised” is the past participle form of the verb, and “surpriseably” is not a word.8、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the given verb in brackets.They (be) (not) aware of the changes that (take) place in the company last month.A)wereB)areC)wasD)beAnswer: A) wereExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the subject “they” is plural, and the past perfect tense “had taken” indicates that the cha nges occurred before the awareness of them. Therefore, “were” is the correct past tense form of “be.”9.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.I can’t believe how____________changes have occurred in this small town over the past decade.A)numerousB)rapidC)suddenD)gradualAnswer: D) gradualExplanation: The sentence is describing changes that have occurred over a period of time, suggesting a process that was not immediate or extreme. “Gradual” fits this context best, indicating changes that happen slowly over time.10.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the following sentence.The professor___________us a detailed outline of the research project before the deadline.A)gaveB)has givenC)will giveD)is givingAnswer: B) has givenExplanation: The sentence implies that the action of giving the outline has already occurred before the deadline.

The sentence suggests that the teacher’s approach was different and made the subject more engaging. The word “traditional” would imply a more conventional method, “passive” would suggest a lack of interest, and “objective” would imply a neutral approach, none of which fit the context as well as “innovative.”13.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The company’s new policy has been widely __________, with both positive and negative reactions.A. criticizedB. implementedC. supportedD. rejectedAnswer: B. implementedExplanation: The correct word here should reflect that the policy has been put into effect. “Implemented” means to carry out or put into effect, which fits the context. “Criticized” would imply there are negative reactions,“supported” would imply positive reactions, and “rejected” wo uld imply outright refusal, none of which fully capture the act of the policy being put into practice.14.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence.She_______(go) to the market every morning, but now she has a car.A. used to goB. uses to goC. used goD. uses goAnswer: A. used to goExplanation: The correct phrase to use in this context is “used to” followed by the base form of the verb, which indicates a past habit or practice that has since changed. “Used to go” is the correc t past simple form that indicates a habit in the past. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.15.Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.The professor___________the students to study hard for the exam.A. advisedB. recommendedC. suggestedD. proposedAnswer: B. recommendedExplanation: The correct answer is “recommended” because it is the most appropriate word to express the professor’s advice. “Advised,” “suggested,” and “proposed” can also mean giving advice or suggestions, but “recommended”is often used in a more formal context, such as in an academic setting.三、完形填空(30分)Passage:In the small town of Willow Creek, there was once a charming old library that stood at the heart of the community.

This shift is primarily due to the convenience and flexibility it offers to students. Online courses allow individuals to learn at their own pace, from any location, and often at a lower cost compared to traditional in-person classes. However, despite these advantages, online learning also comes with its own set of challenges.One of the main concerns is the potential for reduced social interaction. In traditional classrooms, students have the opportunity to engage with their peers and professors, which can enhance their learning experience. Online students, on the other hand, may feel isolated and disconnected from the academic community. This can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement in the course material.Another challenge is the need for self-discipline. Online courses require students to be self-motivated and organized. Without the structure of a traditional classroom, students must set their own schedules and manage their time effectively. This can be difficult for some individuals, especially thosewho are accustomed to the routine of attending classes on campus.Despite these challenges, many online learners find that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. They appreciate the ability to work around their other commitments, such as full-time jobs or family responsibilities. Additionally, online courses often provide access to a wider range of resources and expertise than traditional courses.1.The primary reason for the growing interest in online education is:a) the opportunity for social interactionb) the flexibility and convenience it offersc) the lower cost compared to traditional in-person classesd) the access to a wider range of resources2.What is one of the main concerns mentioned about online learning?a) The convenience of learning at one’s own paceb) The potential for reduced social interactionc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The increased access to expertise3.According to the passage, which of the following is a challenge for online learners?a) The ease of engaging with peers and professorsb) The need for self-discipline and organizationc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The ability to work around other commitmentsAnswers:1.b) the flexibility and convenience it offers2.b) The potential for reduced social interaction3.b) The need for self-discipline and organization五、补全对话(本大题有5小题,每小题3分,共15分)第一题A: Excuse me, could you help me with some English vocabulary?B: Sure, I’d be happy to.

八年级科技前沿英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making remarkable strides in the medical field in recent years. AI - powered systems are being increasingly utilized in various aspects of healthcare, bringing about significant improvements and new possibilities.One of the most prominent applications of AI in medicine is in disease diagnosis. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of medical data, such as patient symptoms, medical histories, and test results. For example, deep - learning algorithms can scan X - rays, CT scans, and MRIs to detect early signs of diseases like cancer, pneumonia, or heart diseases. These algorithms can often spot minute details that might be overlooked by human doctors, thus enabling earlier and more accurate diagnoses.In the realm of drug development, AI also plays a crucial role. It can accelerate the process by predicting how different molecules will interact with the human body. AI - based models can sift through thousands of potential drug candidates in a short time, identifying those with the highest probability of success. This not only saves time but also reduces the cost associated with traditional trial - and - error methods in drug research.Medical robots are another area where AI is making an impact.Surgical robots, for instance, can be guided by AI systems to perform complex surgeries with greater precision. These robots can filter out the natural tremors of a surgeon's hand, allowing for more delicate and accurate incisions. Additionally, there are robots designed to assist in patient care, such as those that can help patients with limited mobility to move around or perform simple tasks.However, the application of AI in medicine also faces some challenges. Issues like data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the need for regulatory approval are important considerations. But overall, the potential of AI to transform the medical field is vast and holds great promise for the future of healthcare.1. What is one of the main applications of AI in the medical field according to the article?A. Designing hospital buildings.B. Disease diagnosis.C. Training medical students.D. Managing hospital finances.答案:B。

Kenny(1986).That approach is sufficient because the errors are not correlated.The advantage of using structural equation modeling is that you canfit a single model and estimate the indirect and total effects,and you can embed the simple mediation model in a larger model and even use latent variables to measure any piece of the mediation model.Tofit this model with the command syntax,we

On the Interactions of Light GravitinosT.E.Clark1,Taekoon Lee2,S.T.Love3,Guo-Hong Wu4Department of PhysicsPurdue UniversityWest Lafayette,IN47907-1396AbstractIn models of spontaneously broken supersymmetry,certain light gravitino processes are governed by the coupling of its Goldstino components.The rules for constructing SUSY and gauge invariant actions involving the Gold-stino couplings to matter and gaugefields are presented.The explicit oper-ator construction is found to be at variance with some previously reported claims.A phenomenological consequence arising from light gravitino inter-actions in supernova is reexamined and scrutinized.1e-mail address:clark@2e-mail address:tlee@3e-mail address:love@4e-mail address:wu@1In the supergravity theories obtained from gauging a spontaneously bro-ken global N=1supersymmetry(SUSY),the Nambu-Goldstone fermion, the Goldstino[1,2],provides the helicity±1degrees of freedom needed to render the spin3gravitino massive through the super-Higgs mechanism.For a light gravitino,the high energy(well above the gravitino mass)interactions of these helicity±1modes with matter will be enhanced according to the su-persymmetric version of the equivalence theorem[3].The effective action de-scribing such interactions can then be constructed using the properties of the Goldstinofields.Currently studied gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models[4]provide a realization of this scenario as do certain no-scale super-gravity models[5].In the gauge mediated case,the SUSY is dynamically broken in a hidden sector of the theory by means of gauge interactions re-sulting in a hidden sector Goldstinofield.The spontaneous breaking is then mediated to the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM)via radia-tive corrections in the standard model gauge interactions involving messenger fields which carry standard model vector representations.In such models,the supergravity contributions to the SUSY breaking mass splittings are small compared to these gauge mediated contributions.Being a gauge singlet,the gravitino mass arises only from the gravitational interaction and is thus farsmaller than the scale √,where F is the Goldstino decay constant.More-2over,since the gravitino is the lightest of all hidden and messenger sector degrees of freedom,the spontaneously broken SUSY can be accurately de-scribed via a non-linear realization.Such a non-linear realization of SUSY on the Goldstinofields was originally constructed by Volkov and Akulov[1].The leading term in a momentum expansion of the effective action de-scribing the Goldstino self-dynamics at energy scales below √4πF is uniquelyfixed by the Volkov-Akulov effective Lagrangian[1]which takes the formL AV=−F 22det A.(1)Here the Volkov-Akulov vierbein is defined as Aµν=δνµ+iF2λ↔∂µσν¯λ,withλ(¯λ)the Goldstino Weyl spinorfield.This effective Lagrangian pro-vides a valid description of the Goldstino self interactions independent of the particular(non-perturbative)mechanism by which the SUSY is dynam-ically broken.The supersymmetry transformations are nonlinearly realized on the Goldstinofields asδQ(ξ,¯ξ)λα=Fξα+Λρ∂ρλα;δQ(ξ,¯ξ)¯λ˙α= F¯ξ˙α+Λρ∂ρ¯λ˙α,whereξα,¯ξ˙αare Weyl spinor SUSY transformation param-eters andΛρ≡−i Fλσρ¯ξ−ξσρ¯λis a Goldstinofield dependent translationvector.Since the Volkov-Akulov Lagrangian transforms as the total diver-genceδQ(ξ,¯ξ)L AV=∂ρ(ΛρL AV),the associated action I AV= d4x L AV is SUSY invariant.The supersymmetry algebra can also be nonlinearly realized on the matter3(non-Goldstino)fields,generically denoted byφi,where i can represent any Lorentz or internal symmetry labels,asδQ(ξ,¯ξ)φi=Λρ∂ρφi.(2) This is referred to as the standard realization[6]-[9].It can be used,along with space-time translations,to readily establish the SUSY algebra.Under the non-linear SUSY standard realization,the derivative of a matterfield transforms asδQ(ξ,¯ξ)(∂νφi)=Λρ∂ρ(∂νφi)+(∂νΛρ)(∂ρφi).In order to elim-inate the second term on the right hand side and thus restore the standard SUSY realization,a SUSY covariant derivative is introduced and defined so as to transform analogously toφi.To achieve this,we use the transformation property of the Volkov-Akulov vierbein and define the non-linearly realized SUSY covariant derivative[9]Dµφi=(A−1)µν∂νφi,(3) which varies according to the standard realization of SUSY:δQ(ξ,¯ξ)(Dµφi)=Λρ∂ρ(Dµφi).Any realization of the SUSY transformations can be converted to the standard realization.In particular,consider the gauge covariant derivative,(Dµφ)i≡∂µφi+T a ij A aµφj,(4)4with a=1,2,...,Dim G.We seek a SUSY and gauge covariant deriva-tive(Dµφ)i,which transforms as the SUSY standard ing the Volkov-Akulov vierbein,we define(Dµφ)i≡(A−1)µν(Dνφ)i,(5) which has the desired transformation property,δQ(ξ,¯ξ)(Dµφ)i=Λρ∂ρ(Dµφ)i, provided the vector potential has the SUSY transformationδQ(ξ,¯ξ)Aµ≡Λρ∂ρAµ+∂µΛρAρ.Alternatively,we can introduce a redefined gaugefieldV aµ≡(A−1)µνA aν,(6) which itself transforms as the standard realization,δQ(ξ,¯ξ)V aµ=Λρ∂ρV aµ, and in terms of which the standard realization SUSY and gauge covariant derivative then takes the form(Dµφ)i≡(A−1)µν∂νφi+T a ij V aµφj.(7) Under gauge transformations parameterized byωa,the original gaugefield varies asδG(ω)A aµ=(Dµω)a=∂µωa+gf abc A bµωc,while the redefinedgaugefield V aµhas the Goldstino dependent transformation:δG(ω)V aµ= (A−1)µν(Dνω)a.For all realizations,the gauge transformation and SUSY transformation commutator yields a gauge variation with a SUSY trans-formed value of the gauge transformation parameter,δG(ω),δQ(ξ,¯ξ)=δG(Λρ∂ρω−δQ(ξ,¯ξ)ω).(8) 5If we further require the local gauge transformation parameter to also trans-form under the standard realization so thatδQ(ξ,¯ξ)ωa=Λρ∂ρωa,then the gauge and SUSY transformations commute.In order to construct an invariant kinetic energy term for the gaugefields, it is convenient for the gauge covariant anti-symmetric tensorfield strength to also be brought into the standard realization.The usualfield strengthF a αβ=∂αA aβ−∂βA aα+if abc A bαA cβvaries under SUSY transformations asδQ(ξ,¯ξ)F aµν=Λρ∂ρF aµν+∂µΛρF aρν+∂νΛρF aµρ.A standard realization of thegauge covariantfield strength tensor,F aµν,can be then defined asF aµν=(A−1)µα(A−1)νβF aαβ,(9) so thatδQ(ξ,¯ξ)F aµν=Λρ∂ρF aµν.These standard realization building blocks consisting of the gauge singlet Goldstino SUSY covariant derivatives,Dµλ,Dµ¯λ,the matterfields,φi,their SUSY-gauge covariant derivatives,Dµφi,and thefield strength tensor,F aµν, along with their higher covariant derivatives can be combined to make SUSY and gauge invariant actions.These invariant action terms then dictate the couplings of the Goldstino which,in general,carries the residual consequences of the spontaneously broken supersymmetry.A generic SUSY and gauge invariant action can be constructed[9]asI eff=d4x detA L eff(Dµλ,Dµ¯λ,φi,Dµφi,Fµν)(10)6where L effis any gauge invariant function of the standard realization basic building ing the nonlinear SUSY transformationsδQ(ξ,¯ξ)detA=∂ρ(ΛρdetA)andδQ(ξ,¯ξ)L eff=Λρ∂ρL eff,it follows thatδQ(ξ,¯ξ)I eff=0.It proves convenient to catalog the terms in the effective Lagranian,L eff, by an expansion in the number of Goldstinofields which appear when covari-ant derivatives are replaced by ordinary derivatives and the Volkov-Akulov vierbein appearing in the standard realizationfield strengths are set to unity. So doing,we expandL eff=L(0)+L(1)+L(2)+···,(11)where the subscript n on L(n)denotes that each independent SUSY invariant operator in that set begins with n Goldstinofields.L(0)consists of all gauge and SUSY invariant operators made only from light matterfields and their SUSY covariant derivatives.Any Goldstinofield appearing in L(0)arises only from higher dimension terms in the matter covariant derivatives and/or thefield strength tensor.Taking the light non-Goldstinofields to be those of the MSSM and retaining terms through mass dimension4,then L(0)is well approximated by the Lagrangian of the mini-mal supersymmetric standard model which includes the soft SUSY breaking terms,but in which all derivatives have been replaced by SUSY covariant ones and thefield strength tensor replaced by the standard realizationfield7strength:L(0)=L MSSM(φ,Dµφ,Fµν).(12) Note that the coefficients of these terms arefixed by the normalization of the gauge and matterfields,their masses and self-couplings;that is,the normalization of the Goldstino independent Lagrangian.The L(1)terms in the effective Lagrangian begin with direct coupling of one Goldstino covariant derivative to the non-Goldstinofields.The general form of these terms,retaining operators through mass dimension6,is given byL(1)=1[DµλαQµMSSMα+¯QµMSSM˙αDµ¯λ˙α],(13)Fwhere QµMSSMαand¯QµMSSM˙αcontain the pure MSSMfield contributions to the conserved gauge invariant supersymmetry currents with once again all field derivatives being replaced by SUSY covariant derivatives and the vector field strengths in the standard realization.That is,it is this term in the effective Lagrangian which,using the Noether construction,produces the Goldstino independent piece of the conserved supersymmetry current.The Lagrangian L(1)describes processes involving the emission or absorption of a single helicity±1gravitino.Finally the remaining terms in the effective Lagrangian all contain two or more Goldstinofields.In particular,L(2)begins with the coupling of two8Goldstinofields to matter or gaugefields.Retaining terms through mass dimension8and focusing only on theλ−¯λterms,we can writeL(2)=1F2DµλαDν¯λ˙αMµν1α˙α+1F2Dµλα↔DρDν¯λ˙αMµνρ2α˙α+1F2DρDµλαDν¯λ˙αMµνρ3α˙α,(14)where the standard realization composite operators that contain matter and gaugefields are denoted by the M i.They can be enumerated by their oper-ator dimension,Lorentz structure andfield content.In the gauge mediated models,these terms are all generated by radiative corrections involving the standard model gauge coupling constants.Let us now focus on the pieces of L(2)which contribute to a local operator containing two gravitinofields and is bilinear in a Standard Model fermion (f,¯f).Those lowest dimension operators(which involve no derivatives on f or¯f)are all contained in the M1piece.After application of the Goldstino field equation(neglecting the gravitino mass)and making prodigious use of Fierz rearrangement identities,this set reduces to just1independent on-shell interaction term.In addition to this operator,there is also an operator bilinear in f and¯f and containing2gravitinos which arises from the product of det A with L(0).Combining the two independent on-shell interaction terms involving2gravitinos and2fermions,results in the effective actionIf¯f˜G˜G =d4x−12F2λ↔∂µσν¯λf↔∂νσµ¯f9+C ffF2(f∂µλ)¯f∂µ¯λ,(15)where C ff is a model dependent real coefficient.Note that the coefficient of thefirst operator isfixed by the normaliztion of the MSSM Lagrangian. This result is in accord with a recent analysis[10]where it was found that the fermion-Goldstino scattering amplitudes depend on only one parameter which corresponds to the coefficient C ff in our notation.In a similar manner,the lowest mass dimension operator contributing to the effective action describing the coupling of two on-shell gravitinos to a single photon arises from the M1and M3pieces of L(2)and has the formIγ˜G˜G =d4xCγF2∂µλσρ∂ν¯λ∂µFρν+h.c.,(16)with Cγa model dependent real coefficient and Fµνis the electromagnetic field strength.Note that the operator in the square bracket is odd under both parity(P)and charge conjugation(C).In fact any operator arising from a gauge and SUSY invariant structure which is bilinear in two on-shell gravitinos and contains only a single photon is necessarily odd in both P and C.Thus the generation of any such operator requires a violation of both P and ing the Goldstino equation of motion,the analogous term containing˜Fµνreduces to Eq.(16)with Cγ→−iCγ.Recently,there has appeared in the literature[11]the claim that there is a lower dimensional operator of the form˜M2F2∂νλσµ¯λFµνwhich contributes to the single photon-102gravitino interaction.Here˜M is a model dependent SUSY breaking massparameter which is roughly an order(s)of magnitude less than √.¿Fromour analysis,we do notfind such a term to be part of a SUSY invariant action piece and thus it should not be included in the effective action.Such a term is also absent if one employs the equivalent formalism of Wess and Samuel [6].We have also checked that such a term does not appear via radiative corrections by an explicit graphical calculation using the correct non-linearly realized SUSY invariant action.This is also contrary to the previous claim.There have been several recent attempts to extract a lower bound on the SUSY breaking scale using the supernova cooling rate[11,12,13].Unfortu-nately,some of these estimates[11,13]rely on the existence of the non-SUSY invariant dimension6operator referred to ing the correct low en-ergy effective lagrangian of gravitino interactions,the leading term coupling 2gravitinos to a single photon contains an additional supression factor ofroughly Cγs˜M .Taking√s 0.1GeV for the processes of interest and using˜M∼100GeV,this introduces an additional supression of at least10−12in the rate and obviates the previous estimates of a bound on F.Assuming that the mass scales of gauginos and the superpartners of light fermions are above the core temperature of supernova,the gravitino cooling of supernova occurs mainly via gravitino pair production.It is interesting to11compare the gravitino pair production cross section to that of the neutrino pair production,which is the main supernova cooling channel.We have seen that for low energy gravitino interactions with matter,the amplitudes for gravitino pair production is proportional to1/F2.A simple dimensional analysis then suggests the ratio of the cross sections is:σχχσνν∼s2F4G2F(17)where GF is the Fermi coupling and√s is the typical energy scale of theparticles in a supernova.Even with the most optimistic values for F,thegravitino production is too small to be relevant.For example,taking √F=100GeV,√s=.1GeV,the ratio is of O(10−11).It seems,therefore,thatsuch an astrophysical bound on the SUSY breaking scale is untenable in mod-els where the gravitino is the only superparticle below the scale of supernova core temperature.We thank T.K.Kuo for useful conversations.This work was supported in part by the U.S.Department of Energy under grant DE-FG02-91ER40681 (Task B).12References[1]D.V.Volkov and V.P.Akulov,Pis’ma Zh.Eksp.Teor.Fiz.16(1972)621[JETP Lett.16(1972)438].[2]P.Fayet and J.Iliopoulos,Phys.Lett.B51(1974)461.[3]R.Casalbuoni,S.De Curtis,D.Dominici,F.Feruglio and R.Gatto,Phys.Lett.B215(1988)313.[4]M.Dine and A.E.Nelson,Phys.Rev.D48(1993)1277;M.Dine,A.E.Nelson and Y.Shirman,Phys.Rev.D51(1995)1362;M.Dine,A.E.Nelson,Y.Nir and Y.Shirman,Phys.Rev.D53,2658(1996).[5]J.Ellis,K.Enqvist and D.V.Nanopoulos,Phys.Lett.B147(1984)99.[6]S.Samuel and J.Wess,Nucl.Phys.B221(1983)153.[7]J.Wess and J.Bagger,Supersymmetry and Supergravity,second edition,(Princeton University Press,Princeton,1992).[8]T.E.Clark and S.T.Love,Phys.Rev.D39(1989)2391.[9]T.E.Clark and S.T.Love,Phys.Rev.D54(1996)5723.[10]A.Brignole,F.Feruglio and F.Zwirner,hep-th/9709111.[11]M.A.Luty and E.Ponton,hep-ph/9706268.13[12]J.A.Grifols,R.N.Mohapatra and A.Riotto,Phys.Lett.B400,124(1997);J.A.Grifols,R.N.Mohapatra and A.Riotto,Phys.Lett.B401, 283(1997).[13]J.A.Grifols,E.Masso and R.Toldra,hep-ph/970753.D.S.Dicus,R.N.Mohapatra and V.L.Teplitz,hep-ph/9708369.14。

Still it is important to understand its realization in a complete theory like string theory.This requires the construction of string theory configurations with gauge sectors whose(presum-ably strong)dynamics is under control.Hence we may expect great benefits from recent developments in the understanding of gauge theory dynamics in D-brane setups,mainly mo-tivated by the gauge/string correspondence.For instance,the study of configurations of D3-branes at singularities,in the presence of fractional branes,has led to the realization of large classes of gauge theories with strong infrared dynamics,giving rise to interesting phenomena like different patterns of confinement[17,18](by the so-called deformation frac-tional branes),or the removal of the supersymmetric vacuum[19,20,21](by the so-called DSB fractional branes)1.In fact,the latter configurations were explicitly used in[26]in the construction of string compactifications with semi-realistic visible sectors and a sector of DSB branes.These are thefirst serious attempts to implement GMSB in string theory.In this paper we continue along those lines,improving it in several directions.We propose a fairly general framework to discuss models of GMSB in string theory.The construction is based on the use of local(namely non-compact)configurations,with two sectors of D-branes describing the visible and supersymmetry breaking sector,decoupled at the massless level, but coupled via a messenger sector whose mass scale is controlled by the distance between the D-brane sectors,which is much smaller than the string scale.In fact,it is this latter fact that motivates considering local configurations,since the physics of the mediation is naturallyinsensitive to the global structure of the compactification2.We propose explicit realizations of this construction,which is nevertheless quiteflexible and allows for many generalizations.Some of the nice features of our proposal and explicit models are:•Being local,they manifestly show the UV insensitivity of the construction.•As opposed to previous proposals,the computation of the spectrum and interactions of the messenger sector can be explicitly described.•The construction is simple andflexible enough to allow for many generalizations.Wefind that these nice features are an important step in improving models of GMSB in string theory.Our constructions are based on local Calabi-Yau geometries with two isolated singulari-ties,at which sectors of D-branes are located.In the construction of the geometries and the determination of the gauge sector,we invoke important recent developments on D-branes at singularities,especially dimer diagrams(or brane tilings)[27,28,29,30,31,32],which we review in order to make the paper self-contained.The location of the D-branes at singu-larities is a natural way to obtain chiral4d N=1gauge theories,rich andflexible enough to allow for semi-realistic sectors and sectors with supersymmetry breaking dynamics.In particular,we can construct examples where the visible sector is an MSSM like model with the Standard Model gauge factors and3-families of quarks and leptons,introduced in[33], and the supersymmetry breaking sector is provided by theflavored dP1models in[24].Im-plementation of other concrete models in our framework is possible as well,and we mention several possible generalizations(in particular,we discuss how to include in our setup models with visible sectors based on non-abelian orbifold singularities,like C3/∆27[33,34,35]).The paper is organized as follows.In Section2we provide background material on dimer diagrams:Section2.1describes the gauge theories on configurations of D3-and D7-branes at singularities using the tools from dimer diagrams.Section2.2reviews the construction of gauge theories with supersymmetry breaking using D-branes.Section2.3describes the con-struction of local CY models with several separated singularities,by using partial resolution.In Section3these tools are put to work in the construction of a simple local CY with two sectors,corresponding to D3-branes at two separated singularities.One D3-brane stack describes the visible sector(in a toy version given by a3-family SU(3)3trinification model) while the other describes the supersymmetry breaking sector(although it actually corresponds to a theory with a runaway behaviour).In Section3.2a more complete model is presented, based on the previous model with the addition of D7-branes.The visible sector is given by a3-family MSSM-like theory,while the hidden sector breaks supersymmetry in a local metastable minimum.Such explicit constructions are amenable to the study of several phenomenologicalquestions.In Section4we sketch other model building possibilities.Finally in Section5we present somefinal remarks.The computation of the massive messenger sector in this general class of models is presented in Appendix A.2Background material2.1D-branes at singularities and dimer diagramsD3-branes at singularitiesSystems of D3-branes at singularities have been under intense study from the viewpoint of the AdS/CFT correspondence(starting with[36],see[37,38,39,40,41,42]for some recent references)and extensions to related non-conformal systems(see e.g.[17,43,44,18,19,20, 21]).Another useful viewpoint on these systems is to consider them local models of interesting gauge/D-brane dynamics,often illustrating properties of more general configurations.In particular,they can be regarded as a local description of a global compactification,in a regime where the relevant D-branes are close to each other,as compared with the compactification scale.This is the viewpoint we take in the present paper,in the spirit of[33].A recent useful tool in the study of D3-branes at singularities is provided by the dimer diagrams or brane tiling[27,28,29,30],which we review in this Section.D3-branes located at a singularity in the transverse space lead to4d gauge theories in their world-volume.For Calabi-Yau singularities,these theories are N=1and are characterized by a set of gauge factors,chiral multiplets in bi-fundamental representations,and superpotential interactions among them.This structure is nicely encoded in the so-called dimer diagrams(or brane tilings)[27,28,29,30,31].They correspond to a periodic tiling of R2or equivalently a tiling of the2-torus T2.In order to correspond to a gauge theory on D3-branes at a singularity,there are further constraints on the tiling.The main one is that the graph should be bi-partite,namely the nodes can be colored with two colours(black and white),with edges joining nodes of different color.We skip further discussions,and refer the reader to e.g.[28,29]for details.In this language,each face corresponds to a gauge factor,each edge separating two faces corresponds to a chiral multiplet in the bi-fundamental representation,and each node cor-responds to an interaction term in the superpotential,involving the bi-fundamentals corre-sponding to the edges ending on that node3.Note that the orientation on the edges(e.g. from black to white nodes)must be used to define the bi-fundamentals.Also,superpotentialb)1Figure 1:(a)The dimer diagram (as a tiling of the T 2upon identifying sides of the paralelogram)and (b)the quiver diagram of the gauge theory on D3-branes at the C 3/Z 3singularity.terms associated to black or white nodes have opposite signs.One example,corresponding to D3-branes at the C 3/Z 3singularity (also known as the complex cone over dP 0,hence denoted dP 0singularity in the following),is shown in Figure 1a.The gauge theory corresponding to the dimer diagram in Figure 1a is described in Figure 1b in terms of its quiver diagram,where nodes correspond to gauge factors,arrows correspond to chiral multiplets,and the superpotential needs to be specified explicitly.In this case we haveW =Tr (X 12Y 23Z 31−X 12Z 23Y 31+X 23Y 31Z 12−X 23Z 31Y 12++X 31Y 12Z 23−X 31Z 12Y 23)≃ǫijk Tr (X (i )12X (j )23X (k )31)(2.1)with obvious notation (in the last expression we have written X (i ),i =1,2,3for X ,Y ,Z ,respectively).Traces in superpotential terms will be implicit in what follows.For completeness and future use,we show another example of a dimer diagram in Figure 2a,corresponding to D3-branes at a singularity given by the complex cone over dP 1(in what follows,dP 1singularity for short).The corresponding gauge theory (denoted dP 1theory)is described by the quiver diagram shown in Figure 2b,with the superpotential given byW =X 12Y 24X 41−Y 12X 24X 41+X 31Y 12X 23−−Y 31X 12X 23+Z 12X 24X 43Y 31−Z 12Y 24X 43X 31≃ǫij X i 12X j 24X 41+ǫij X i 31X j 12X 23+ǫij Z 12X i 24X 43X j 31(2.2)where fields X i ,i =1,2denote X ,Y .Dimer diagrams have been shown to encode the string theory geometry in several ways.In the following we provide the most practical description for our purposes.A toric Calabi-Yau geometry is characterized by its web diagram,see [45,46,47]for a first application in the physical context and e.g.[18]for applications to systems of D3-branes 4.The web diagram for a toric singularity is given by a set of segments in R 2,carrying (p,q )31b)Figure 2:The dimer diagram (a)and quiver diagram (b)of the gauge theory on D3-branes at a singularity given by a complex cone over dP 1(the dP 1theory,forshort).a)Figure 3:(a)Web diagram for the dP 0singularity.For clarity we show the geometry for a non-zero size of the internal pieces.(b)Dimer diagram and zig-zag paths for the dP 0theory.The (p,q )homology class of the path is related to the (p,q )label of an external leg in the web diagram of the geometry.labels which define their orientation 5.Segments join at vertices,with the rule that the (p,q )charges of segments at a vertex add up to zero.The web diagram for the C 3/Z 3(dP 0)and the dP 1singularities are shown in Figures 3a and 4a.The web diagram can be regarded as describing the locus where certain S 1fibrations in the toric geometry degenerate.Skipping the details,this description implies that finite size segments and faces correspond to 2-cycles and 4-cycles respectively.External legs and non-compact faces correspond to non-compact 2-and 4-cycles.The structure of the singularity is specified by the set of (p,q )charges of the external legs,while the sizes of the internal finite size pieces simply corresponds to a choice of Kahler moduli.The singular variety corresponds to shrinking the finite pieces to a point.The dimer diagram for the gauge theory on D3-branes at a singularity encodes the (p,q )charges of the external legs in the corresponding web diagram [29,30],in its structure of zig-zag paths.A zig-zag path is a path made of dimer edges,such that it turns maximallya)b)Figure4:(a)Web diagram for the dP1singularity.For clarity we show the geometry for a non-zero size of the internal pieces.(b)Dimer diagram and zig-zag paths for the dP1theory.The(p,q) homology class of the path is related to the(p,q)label of an external leg in the web diagram of the geometry.to the left at e.g.black vertices and maximally to the right at white vertices.Each zig-zag path defines a closed loop on T2,and carries a non-trivial(p,q)homology charge.Each zig-zag path corresponds to an external leg in the web diagram,with the(p,q)label of the leg given by the(p,q)charge of the path.It is easy to recover the web diagrams of different singularities from the zig-zag paths of the dimer diagram,as the reader can check in our examples.The structure of zig-zag paths for the dP0and dP1dimer diagrams are shown in Figures3b and4b.We would like to mention a more advanced concept,the mirror Riemann surfaceΣand its relation to the dimer.This is useful in the derivation of some results,although we will always provide thefinal answers in a language not involving it,so that the reader can safely skip them(we refer to[30]for further details).The web diagram of a toric singularity can also be regarded as a skeleton for a Riemann surfaceΣwith punctures,which is obtained by‘thickening’the segments to tubes.Punctures inΣcorrespond to external legs in the web diagram.This Riemann surface plays a prominent role in the description of the mirror geometry,and all relevant D-branes are described as wrapped on1-cycles on it.In particular, the D3-brane gauge factors correspond to non-trivial compact1-cycles inΣ.The number of intersections(counted with orientation)between two such1-cycles gives the number of bi-fundamentals between the corresponding gauge factors.Finally,the superpotential terms correspond to disks inΣbounded by pieces of different1-cycles.Although this picture underlies the derivation of our tools,we rephrase the results directly in terms of the dimer diagramAdding D7-branesFor certain applications,it is desirable to introduce D7-branes passing through a system of D3-branes at a ly,one introduces D7-branes wrapped on holomorphic4-cycles of the singular CY.From the viewpoint of the4d gauge theory,this implies the introductionof a set offlavours for the different D3-brane gauge factors(from the open strings between the D3-and D7-branes)and interactions(e.g.from73-33-37interactions).Notice that the gauge group on the D7-branes behaves as a global symmetry from the viewpoint of the4d gauge theory in this non-compact setup.It turns out that the introduction of such D7-branes can be easily described in the language of dimer diagrams,in a manner that allows reading offthe D3-D7spectrum and interactions. This has been described in appendix B of[24],whose results we briefly ing the mirror Riemann surfaceΣmentioned above,D7-branes are represented as non-compact1-cycles inΣthat stretch between two punctures.The intersections of the D7-brane1-cycle with the1-cycle corresponding to the D3-branes gives rise to chiral multiplets in bi-fundamentals of the D3-and D7-brane symmetry groups,thus providing the D3-D7spectrum.Finally, disks inΣbounded by one D7-brane1-cycle and two D3-brane1-cycles lead to a cubic superpotential term of the form73-33-37.This more detailed description underlies our above recipe,which we nevertheless can state directly in terms of the dimer diagram.As described in[24],for each33bi-fundamental in the D3-brane sector,there exists one kind of D7-brane leading to37,73chiral multiplets coupling to the33state.Hence,a simple representation of a D7-brane in the dimer diagram is as a segment stretching across an edge,joining the mid-points of adjacent faces.One such segment stretching across an edge associated with an(2;N D7represent the D7-brane global symmetries.Heuristically,the D7-brane segment touches the faces at its endpoints,leading to the D7-D3and D3-D7sectors according to orientation.There is a superpotential coupling33-37-73involving these states. The representation as a segment facilitates an easy identification of the gauge theory matter content and interactions corresponding to a system of D3-and D7-branes at singularities.In Figure5we show one particular example of this kind of diagram,which we denote extended dimer diagram.Notice that there are other possible D7-brane choices,namely one for each 33bi-fundamental,and that for different33bi-fundamentals with the same gauge quantum numbers,the corresponding D7-branes lead to the same37,73spectrum,but different33-37-73interactions.An important point is that there are non-trivial consistency conditions on configurations of D3-and D7-branes at singularities.Concretely,the total charge of the D-brane system under RRfields living at the singular points should vanish.Equivalently[48,49,50],the4d gauge theory should be free of non-abelian anomalies6.In all our forthcoming examples weQ a,where Q a is the U(1)generator ofN athe a th gauge factor U(N a).b)Figure 5:(a)Extended dimer diagram of the dP 0theory with some examples of D7-branes represented as segments across the edges.(b)Quiver diagram including D7-branes (represented as white nodes).There are 33-37-73couplings involving the 33bi-fundamental across which the corresponding D7-brane stretches.enforce this property.One can use these tools to construct interesting gauge theories.As a particular application to phenomenological model building,it is easy to construct configurations leading to MSSM like spectra [33].In Figure 6a we show an extended dimer diagram for a system of D3-and D7-branes at a C 3/Z 3singularity studied in [33].As can be easily read out from the picture,it leads to a U (3)×U (2)×U (1)gauge group and 3-families of quarks and leptons (plus additional fields,with vector-like quantum numbers under the Standard Model gauge group).The only massless U (1)linear combination (in a convenient normalization)is Q Y =−13Q 3+1D R ).See [33]forfurther details.In later sections,we will use this configuration as our (toy)model for the visible sector in a truly realistic string compactification.2.2DSB from D-branes at singularitiesAn interesting spinoffin the study of D-branes at singularities has been the realization of gauge theories whose non-perturbative dynamics removes the supersymmetric vacuum [19,20,21].The prototypical example is provided by the gauge theory on a set of fractional branes on the dP 1singularity.Moreover,the same behaviour is found in many other examples,and can in fact be argued to be generic.Nevertheless let us concentrate on the dP 1case forconcreteness (and for future application to our main examples).The general gauge theory for D3-branes at a dP 1singularity has been described in Section2.1.Consider the particular situation where N 4=0,N 1=M ,N 2=2M ,N 3=3M,(2.3)which corresponds to an anomaly-free,and hence consistent,choice.Recalling that the U (1)gauge factors are massive (see footnote 6),the gauge group is SU (3M )×SU (2M )×SU (M ).The superpotential readsW =X 23X 31Y 12−X 23Y 31X 12(2.4)In addition there is the field Z 12,decoupled at this level.As discussed in [19,20,21](see [22]for a detailed discussion),in the regime where the SU (3M )dynamics dominates this gauge factor confines and develops an Affleck-Dine-Seiberg (ADS)superpotential for its mesonsM 21=X 23X 31,M ′21=X 23Y 31.The complete superpotential is W =M 21Y 12−M ′21X 12+M Λ7M 3M(2.5)where M =(M 21;M ′21)is the mesonic 2M ×2M matrix.The theory has no supersymmetric vacuum since the F-term conditions for X 12,Y 12send M 21,M ′21→0,and then the F-terms conditions for M 21,M ′21send X 12,Y 12→∞.In fact,assuming canonical Kahler potential forthe matter fields,one easily shows there is a runaway behaviour towards this minimum ‘at infinity’[20,22].The runaway direction is parametrized by the gauge-invariant dibaryonic operatorǫa 1...a 2M ǫb 1...b M ǫc 1...c M (X 12)b 1a 1...(X 12)b M a M (Y 12)c 1a M +1...(Y 12)c M a 2M (2.6)As mentioned above,this pattern is generic for a large class of systems of D-branes at ly,for the so-called DSB fractional branes [20],see [23]for the gauge theory analysis in a large set of examples.b)3It is useful to mention an equivalent viewpoint on the runaway[20].The U(1)gauge factors can be maintained in the gauge theory,as long as one consistently includes the B∧F couplings(and its supersymmetry related coupling of the NSNS scalarφpartner of B as a Fayet-Iliopoulos(FI)term)in the dynamics,see footnote6.Considering the FIφfor the linear combination Q1−Q2of the U(1)’s in U(M)×U(2M),there is a non-trivial D-term constraint forfixed FIφ,roughly of the formV D=(|X12|2+|Y12|2+φ)2(2.7)From this viewpoint,atfixed values ofφthe D-term for the U(1)lifts the runaway direction and leads to a non-supersymmetric minimum.In the complete theory,however,the FI term is actually a dynamicalfieldφ,which can decrease the vacuum energy to arbitrarily low values by relaxing to infinity.Hence the runaway behaviour is recovered,now in terms of the closed string modeφ8.This behaviour is interesting,but in principle it would seem of little phenomenological interest as a mechanism for supersymmetry breaking.However,it has recently been shown in [24]that upon a small modification,the above class of theories(in particular the dP1theory) contain supersymmetry-breaking local minima,which are metastable and long-lived,since they are separated from the runaway behaviour at infinity by a large potential barrier9.The modification is a remarkably simple generalization of the proposal in[25]for SYM theories. It is provided by the introduction of massiveflavours,with masses much smaller than the dynamical scale of the gauge theory.The additionalflavours can be easily incorporated by the introduction of D7-branes in the system of D3-branes at singularities.We refer the reader to[24]for details on the string construction and the gauge theory analysis of this theory10.In Figure7we show the extended dimer diagram corresponding to the system of D3-and D7-branes(with the rank assignment(2.3)and2M D7-branes).Other possible choices of D7-branes can in principle be similarly considered.In coming Sections we will use this configuration as a basic model of a sector leading to dynamical supersymmetry breaking(in its local non-supersymmetric minimum).An alternative possibility to obtain stable non-supersymmetric minima from DSB branes, already mentioned in[26]is the following.As mentioned above,the runaway behaviour can beb)2MFigure7:(a)Dimer diagram for a configuration of D3-and D7-branes in the dP1singularity leading to a gauge theory with meta-stable supersymmetry breaking vacua.(b)Extended quiver diagram for the theory.regarded as a non-trivial potential for a certain Kahler modulus of the singularity.In global compactifications,it is possible that there are other sources of potential for these moduli, which could presumably stabilize its runaway(for instance non-perturbative contributions arising from euclidean D3-brane instantons).This is however difficult to verify in concrete models including realistic sectors etc.Moreover,the properties of such local minima(includ-ing its very existence)would be strongly sensitive to the details of the global compactification. This goes against our strategy to attempt the construction of a visible plus DSB sector with no UV sensitivity.In other words,one can rephrase the above by saying that in our specific local models, which are UV insensitive by construction,there are no other sources of potential for the Kahler moduli involved in the runaway.Hence,the above proposal to modify the gauge theory by adding slightly massiveflavours is a UV independent way to generate supersymmetry breaking minima in these gauge theories,and a natural one to be implemented in local models.2.3Local CY models with several singularitiesGeometrical construction from partial resolutionIn this last subsection we would like to describe the construction of the geometries of our interest,namely local Calabi-Yau varieties with two isolated singularities,and the gauge theories for D-branes placed on them.This is based on tools developed in[32].As mentioned above,non-compact toric Calabi-Yaus can be characterized using web di-agrams.In this language,the construction of local CYs with two isolated singularities is straightforward,by the procedure of partial resolution.We start with a web diagram de-scribing a geometry with a single singular point,namely allfinite segments and faces are collapsed to a point at which all external legs converge.Now we grow onefinite size segmentA BFa)b)A C B D F E E C D G Gc)Figure 8:(a)The web diagram for the double conifold singularity xy =s 2w 2.(b)The partial resolution to a geometry with two conifold singularities.(c)Description in terms of the toric diagram.11out of such a point.The web diagram now has two internal vertices at which external legs converge.This implies that the geometry now has two singular points,separated by a distance controlled by the Kahler modulus of the 2-cycle corresponding to the finite segment.The ideas are better illustrated using a concrete example.Hence,we consider an example studied in [32],namely the splitting of the so-called double conifold singularity (studied in[54,55])to two conifold singularities.The web diagram for this singularity is shown in Figure 8a,and a partial resolution is illustrated in Figure 8b.The geometry of the two daughter singularities can be studied by considering all legs entering the corresponding vertex (including the finite size segment).Namely,by breaking the finite segment we obtain two daughter web diagrams which describe the local geometry around the two daughter singularities 12.This is manifest in Figure 8b,where,upon breaking the elongated segment (by removing the red piece in Figure 8b)we are left with two web diagrams describing the two conifold singularities in the left-over geometry.Notice that the original and final singularities are simpler to recognize if one keeps track of the collapsed finite segments,by showing them with a small size,as we do in all our discussions.Recall however that the singularities are obtained when such finite pieces have zero size.Notice that this process can be easily inverted.If one is interested in constructing a local CY with two isolated singularities of specified type,one simply needs to consider combining their web diagrams into a larger one by joining one external leg of each diagram into one finite size segment 13.This will be useful in the construction of geometries in Section 3.Finally let us mention that the partial resolution,when regarded in terms of the mirror Riemann surface Σ,simply corresponds to elongating a tube.By pinching this tube (or。
