We explore the effects of a strongly-coupled, approximately scale-invariantsector on the renormalization of soft supersymmetry breaking terms. A usefulformalism for deriving exact results for renormalization of soft supersymmetrybreaking terms is given in an appendix, and used to generalize previously knownresults to include the effects of nontrilinear superpotential terms. We showthat a class of theories which explain the flavor hierarchy without flavorsymmetries can also solve the supersymmetric flavor problem by producing nearlydegenerate masses for the first two generations of scalar superpartners withineach charge sector. Effects from trilinear scalar terms are also suppressed,although their initial values must be relatively small. Our mechanism resultsin testable predictions for the superpartner spectrum.Comment: 38 page
