DYNAMICAL SUPERSYMMETRY BREAKING VERSUS RUN-AWAY BEHAVIOR IN SUPERSYMMETRIC GAUGE-THEORIES

We consider Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking (DSB) in models with clas sical flat directions. We analyze a number of examples, and develop a systematic approach to determine if classical flat directions are stab ilized in the full quantum theory, or lead to run-away behavior. In so me cases pseudo-dat directions re:main even at the quantum level befor e taking into account corrections to the Kahler potential. We show tha t in certain limits these corrections are calculable. In particular, w e find that in the Intriligator-Thomas SU(2) and its generalizations, a potential for moduli is generated. Moreover, there is a region of th e parameter space where Kahler potential corrections lead to calculabl e (local) minima at large but finite distance from the origin.
