Adding small AMSB to t-confining SUSY gauge theories moves the ground state to a superpotential branch and predicts discrete and flavor symmetry breaking such as Z6 to Z2 and Z16 x SU(2) to SO(2).

abstract
All supersymmetric gauge theories based on simple groups which have an affine quantum moduli space, i.e. one generated by gauge invariants with no relations, W=0, and anomaly matching at the origin, are classified. It is shown that the only theories with no gauge invariants (and moduli space equal to a single point) are the two known examples, SU(5) with 5-bar + 10 and SO(10) with a spinor. The index of the matter representation must be at least as big as the index of the adjoint in theories which have a non-trivial relation among the gauge invariants.

AMSB in Truly Confining Gauge Theories
Adding small AMSB to t-confining SUSY gauge theories moves the ground state to a superpotential branch and predicts discrete and flavor symmetry breaking such as Z6 to Z2 and Z16 x SU(2) to SO(2).
