Non-abelian self-dual strings in six dimensions from four dimensional 1/2-BPS monopoles (2014)
Journal Article
Chu, C. (2014). Non-abelian self-dual strings in six dimensions from four dimensional 1/2-BPS monopoles. Nuclear Physics B, 882, 289-302. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2014.03.006

We explain a new construction of self-dual string solutions to the non-abelian two-form self-duality equation proposed in [1]. This class of self-dual strings is determined by the BPS monopoles in four-dimensions and the self-dual string charge is gi...

SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum (2007)
Journal Article
Abel, S. A., Chu, C., Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. V. (2007). SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007(01), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2007/01/089

Supersymmetry breaking in a metastable vacuum is re-examined in a cosmological context. It is shown that thermal effects generically drive the Universe to the metastable minimum even if it begins in the supersymmetry-preserving one. This is a generic...
