Gauge symmetry breaking through soft masses in supersymmetric gauge theories.
Effects of soft breaking terms in N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories are studied. For Nf < Nc, we include the dynamics of the non-perturbative superpotential and use the original (s)quark and gauge fields. For Nf > Nc+1, we formulate the dynamics in terms of dual (s)quarks and a dual gauge group SU(Nf − Nc). The mass squared of squarks can be negative triggering the spontaneous breakdown of fl...
متن کامل- 2 - Gauge Theories and Symmetry Breaking II
A new method of renormalizing Abelian gauge theories without regulators is developed in this series of papers. In the present part infrared problems are avoided by modifying the Lagrangian such that all masses are non-vanishing. It is shown that conventional renormalization of the classical Lagrangian leads to anomalies of the current. A modified renormalization scheme is proposed and shown to ...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories.
The aim of this historical article is to describe the development of the idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories as seen from my perspective as a member of Abdus Salam's group at Imperial College London, UK. Beginning with an account of particle physics in the years after the Second World War, I describe early attempts at constructing a unified theory of weak and electromagnetic...
متن کاملProbing Flavor Structure in Supersymmetric Theories
We analyze the possibility of probing the supersymmetric flavor structure through the constraints of the K and B meson systems and those of the electric dipole moments. We show that combining these constraints would favor SUSY models with large flavor mixing either in LR(RL) or LL but with a very small RR and intermediate/large tan β. Large LR mixing requires specific patterns for trilinear A-t...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories—In Search of Clarification
The paper investigates the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries in gauge theories from a philosophical angle. Local gauge symmetry itself cannot break spontaneously in quantized gauge theories according to Elitzur’s theorem—even though the notion of a spontaneously broken local gauge symmetry is widely employed in textbook expositions of the Higgs mechanism, the standard account of mass gen...
