Two-loop polygon Wilson loops in Script N = 4 SYM (2009)
Journal Article
Anastasiou, C., Brandhuber, A., Heslop, P., Khoze, V. V., Spence, B., & Travaglini, G. (2009). Two-loop polygon Wilson loops in Script N = 4 SYM. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009(05), Article 115

We compute for the first time the two-loop corrections to arbitrary n-gon lightlike Wilson loops in Script N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, using efficient numerical methods. The calculation is motivated by the remarkable agreement between the... Read More about Two-loop polygon Wilson loops in Script N = 4 SYM.

Dynamical breaking of U(1)_{R} and supersymmetry in a metastable vacuum (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Durnford, C., Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. (2008). Dynamical breaking of U(1)_{R} and supersymmetry in a metastable vacuum. Physics Letters B, 661(2-3), 201-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2008.01.065

We consider the metastable N=1 QCD model of Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih (ISS), deformed by adding a baryon term to the superpotential. This simple deformation causes the spontaneous breaking of the approximate R-symmetry of the metastable vacuum....

Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Khoze, V. (2008). Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008(11), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2008/11/024

It is well-known that in scenarios with direct gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking the messenger fields significantly affect the running of Standard Model couplings and introduce Landau poles which are difficult to avoid. This appears to remove... Read More about Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification.

Illuminating the hidden sector of string theory by shining light through a magnetic field. (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Jaeckel, J., Khoze, V., & Ringwald, A. (2008). Illuminating the hidden sector of string theory by shining light through a magnetic field. Physics Letters B, 666(1), 66-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2008.03.076

Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict minicharged particles to which current and near future low-energy experiments are highly sensitive. Such minicharges arise generically from kinetic mixing in theories containing at least two U(...

Scattering amplitudes in strongly coupled N = 4 SYM from semiclassical strings in AdS. (2007)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Forste, S., & Khoze, V. (2007). Scattering amplitudes in strongly coupled N = 4 SYM from semiclassical strings in AdS. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008(2), Article 042. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2008/02/042

Very recently in [1] Alday and Maldacena gave a string theory prescription for computing (all) planar amplitudes in Script N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theory at strong coupling using the AdS/CFT correspondence. These amplitudes are determined by a cla... Read More about Scattering amplitudes in strongly coupled N = 4 SYM from semiclassical strings in AdS..

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...
