Invariance Theorems for Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories

چکیده
We consider quantum mechanical Yang-Mills theories with eight supercharges and a Spin(5)× SU(2)R flavor symmetry. We show that all normalizable ground states in these gauge theories are invariant under this flavor symmetry. This includes, as a special case, all bound states of D0-branes and D4-branes. As a consequence, all bound states of D0-branes are invariant under the Spin(9) flavor symmetry. When combined with index results, this implies that the bound state of two D0-branes is unique.

A note on C-Parity Conservation and the Validity of Orientifold Planar Equivalence
We analyze the possibility of a spontaneous breaking of C-invariance in gauge theories with fermions in vector-like — but otherwise generic — representations of the gauge group. QCD, supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory, and orientifold field theories, all belong to this class. We argue that charge conjugation is not spontaneously broken as long as Lorentz invariance is maintained. Uniqueness of th...
متن کاملThe ultra-violet question in maximally supersymmetric field theories
We discuss various approaches to the problem of determining which supersymmetric invariants are permitted as counterterms in maximally supersymmetric super Yang–Mills and supergravity theories in various dimensions. We review the superspace non-renormalisation theorems based on conventional, light-cone, harmonic and certain non-Lorentz covariant superspaces, and we write down explicitly the rel...
متن کاملOn the Cohomological Structure of Supersymmetric Lagrangeans With and Without Auxiliary Fields
The origin of non-renormalization theorems in field theories with global supersymmetry can be traced to the fact that supersymmetric actions can be viewed as the highest components of respective supermultiplets. Supersymmetric interactions in particular can therefore be represented as supersymmetry variations of lower dimensional field polynomials. We investigate here this algebraic structure i...
متن کاملLattice Formulation of Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theories without Fine - Tuning
We present a lattice formulation which gives super Yang-Mills theories in any dimensions with simple supersymmetry as well as extended supersymmetry in the continuum limit without ne-tuning. We rst formulate super Yang-Mills theories with simple supersymmetry in 3,4,6 and 10 dimensions, incorporating the gluino on the lattice using the overlap formalism. In 4D, exact chiral symmetry forbids glu...
