摘要
We show that string models with low energy supersymmetry which accommodate the fermion mass hierarchy generally give nonuniversal soft trilinear couplings (A terms). In conjunction with the apparently large Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) phase, this results in large fermion electric dipole moments (EDMs) even in the absence of CP violating phases in the supersymmetry breaking auxiliary fields and the mu term. Nonobservation of the EDMs therefore implies that strings select special flavor and/or supersymmetry breaking patterns.
