Collinearity, convergence and cancelling infrared divergences
The Lee-Nauenberg theorem is a fundamental quantum mechanical result which provides the standard theoretical response to the problem of collinear and infrared divergences. Its argument, that the divergences due to massless charged particles can be removed by summing over degenerate states, has been successfully applied to systems with final state degeneracies such as LEP processes. If there are...
متن کاملChiral Fermions and Quadratic Divergences
In an approach towards naturalness without supersymmetry, the renormalization properties of nonsupersymmetric abelian quiver gauge theories are studied. In the construction based on cyclic groups Zp the gauge group is U(N), the fermions are all in bifundamentals and the construction allows scalars in adjoints and bifundamentals. Only models without adjoint scalars, however, exhibit both chiral ...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Without Supersymmetry
We present four-dimensional M -theory vacua with N > 0 supersymmetry which, from the perspective of perturbative Type IIA string theory, have N = 0. Such vacua can appear when the compactifying 7-manifold is a U(1) fibration. The missing superpartners are Dirichlet 0-branes. Someone unable to detect Ramond-Ramond charge would thus conclude that these worlds have no unbroken supersymmetry. In pa...
متن کاملSupersymmetry without Supersymmetry
We investigate the possibility that supersymmetry is not a fundamental symmetry of nature, but emerges as an accidental approximate global symmetry at low energies. This can occur if the visible sector is nonsupersymmetric at high scales, but flows toward a strongly-coupled superconformal fixed point at low energies; or, alternatively, if the visible sector is localized near the infrared brane ...
متن کاملQuadratic Divergences in Kaluza-Klein Theories
We investigate the so-called “Kaluza-Klein regularisation” procedure in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with additional compact dimensions and Scherk-Schwarz mechanism for supersymmetry breaking. This procedure uses a specific mathematical manipulation to obtain a finite result for the scalar potential. By performing the full calculation, we show that the finiteness of this resu...
