Modular symmetry of soft supersymmetry breaking terms

  • 1. Department of Physics, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0810 (Japan)

Description

We study the modular symmetry of soft supersymmetry breaking terms. Soft scalar masses and A-term coefficients are invariant under the modular symmetry when we regard the F-term as a spurion with the modular weight −2. Their flavor structure is determined by the same symmetry as Yukawa couplings, i.e., fermion masses. The modular symmetric behavior of the μ-term and B-term depends on how the μ-term is generated.
