Cosmological breaking of supersymmetry? (English) Zbl 0982.83040

Summary: This is the text of my talk at the Strings 2000 Conference at the University of Michigan. It consists of three interlocking conjectures about the nature of SUSY breaking and the Cosmological Constant, as well as evidence from a toy model that demonstrates the validity of the claim that systems with a UV/IR connection can exhibit much larger SUSY breaking than local field theory.
