Exact Vacuum Energy of Orbifold Lattice Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the orbifold lattice theories constructed from supersymmetric YangMills matrix theories (mother theories) with four and eight supercharges. We show that the vacuum energy of these theories vanishes exactly and the classical flat directions remain flat even if we take into account quantum effects.

Twisted Supersymmetric Gauge Theories and Orbifold Lattices
We examine the relation between twisted versions of the extended supersymmetric gauge theories and supersymmetric orbifold lattices. In particular, for the N = 4 SYM in d = 4, we show that the continuum limit of orbifold lattice reproduces the twist introduced by Marcus, and the examples at lower dimensions are usually Blau-Thompson type. The orbifold lattice point group symmetry is a subgroup ...
متن کاملExact lattice supersymmetry
We provide an introduction to recent lattice formulations of supersymmetric theories which are invariant under one or more real supersymmetries at nonzero lattice spacing. These include the especially interesting case of N = 4 SYM in four dimensions. We discuss approaches based both on twisted supersymmetry and orbifold-deconstruction techniques and show their equivalence in the case of gauge t...
متن کاملComments on Condensates in Non-Supersymmetric Orbifold Field Theories
Non-supersymmetric orbifolds of N = 1 super Yang-Mills theories are conjectured to inherit properties from their supersymmetric parent. We examine this conjecture by compactifying the Z2 orbifold theories on a spatial circle of radius R. We point out that when the orbifold theory lies in a specific weakly coupled vacuum, fractional instantons do give rise to the conjectured condensate of bi-fun...
متن کاملAn object oriented code for simulating supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories
We present SUSY LATTICE a C++ program that can be used to simulate certain classes of supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) theories, including the well known N = 4 SYM in four dimensions, on a flat Euclidean space-time lattice. Discretization of SYM theories is an old problem in lattice field theory. It has resisted solution until recently when new ideas drawn from orbifold constructions and topolog...
متن کاملOn methods for extracting exact non-perturbative results in non-supersymmetric gauge theories
At large N , a field theory and its orbifolds (given by projecting out some of its fields) share the same planar graphs. If the parent-orbifold relation continues even nonperturbatively, then properties such as confinement and chiral symmetry breaking will appear in both parent and orbifold. N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills has many nonsupersymmetric orbifolds which resemble QCD. A nonperturbati...
