abstract
We prove a general bound on the superpotential in theories with broken supersymmetry and broken R-symmetry, 2|W|< f_a F, where f_a and F are the R-axion and Goldstino decay constants, respectively. The bound holds for weakly coupled as well as strongly coupled theories, thereby providing an exact result in theories with broken supersymmetry. We briefly discuss several possible applications.

An Intermediate Scale R-axion \& the QCD Axion
A mixed F- and D-term uplift in supergravity evades the Planckian lower bound on the R-axion decay constant, allowing it to be the QCD axion and dark matter.
