Supersymmetric theories with compact extra dimensions in N = 1 superfields
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an N = 1 superfield formulation of supersymmetric gauge theories with a compact extra dimension. The formulation incorporates the radion superfield and allows to write supersymmetric theories on warped gravitational backgrounds. We apply it to study the breaking of supersymmetry by the F -term of the radion, and show that, for flat extra dimensions, this leads to the same mass spectrum as in Scherk-Schwarz models of supersymmetry breaking. We also consider scenarios where supersymmetry is broken on a boundary of a warped extra dimension and compare them with anomaly mediated models.

A Note on Supersymmetric WZW term in Four Dimensions
We reconsider the supersymmetric Wess-Zumino-Witten (SWZW) term in four dimensions. It has been known that the manifestly supersymmetric form of the SWZW term includes derivative terms on auxiliary fields, the highest components of chiral superfields, and then we cannot eliminate them by their equations of motion. We discuss a possibility for the elimination of such derivative terms by adding t...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Nonlinear Sigma Models as Gauge Theories
Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models are obtained from linear sigma models by imposing supersymmetric constraints. If we introduce auxiliary chiral and vector superfields, these constraints are expressed by D-terms and F-terms depending on the target manifolds. Auxiliary vector superfields appears as gauge fields without kinetic terms. If there is no D-term constraints, the target manifolds ar...

متن کاملNew Supergravities with Central Charges and Killing Spinors in 2+1 Dimensions
We construct a new class of (p, q)-extended Poincaré supergravity theories in 2+1 dimensions as Chern-Simons theories of supersymmetry algebras with both central and automorphism charges. The new theories have the advantage that they are limits of corresponding (p, q) adS supergravity theories and, for not too large a value of N = p + q, that they have a natural formulation in terms of offshell...
متن کاملExponentially Small Supersymmetry Breaking from Extra Dimensions
The supersymmetric “shining” of free massive chiral superfields in extra dimensions from a distant source brane can trigger exponentially small supersymmetry breaking on our brane of order e−2πR, where R is the radius of the extra dimensions. This supersymmetry breaking can be transmitted to the superpartners in a number of ways, for instance by gravity or via the standard model gauge interacti...
