By studying (orientifolded) toric Calabi-Yau singularities, we identify a specific construction that can lead to dynamical supersymmetry breaking at low energy, providing the potential for a stable vacuum with supersymmetry breaking.
We study (orientifolded) toric Calabi-Yau singularities in search for D-brane configurations which lead to dynamical supersymmetry breaking at low energy. By exploiting dimer techniques we are able to determine that while most realizations lead to a Coulomb branch instability, a rather specific construction admits a fully stable supersymmetry breaking vacuum. We describe the geometric structure that a singularity should have in order to host such a construction, and present its simplest example, the Octagon.
