The Lorentz Non-invariant Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
Supersymmetry can be modified to include violation of Lorentz symmetry. Lorentz violation can occur for example spontaneously in string theory as a tiny effect at an ultraviolet energy scale or in condensed matter systems with chemical potential. We review some of the possible ways Lorentz violation can take place while preserving supersymmetry.

Is Nothing Sacred? Vacuum Energy, Supersymmetry and Lorentz Breaking from Recoiling D branes
Classical superstring vacua have zero vacuum energy and are supersymmetric and Lorentz-invariant. We argue that all these properties may be destroyed when quantum aspects of the interactions between particles and non-perturbative vacuum fluctuations are considered. A toy calculation of string/D-brane interactions using a world-sheet approach indicates that quantum recoil effects reflecting the ...
متن کاملA Ten-Dimensional Super-Yang-Mills Action with Off-Shell Supersymmetry
After adding seven auxiliary scalar fields, the action for ten-dimensional super-YangMills contains an equal number of bosonic and fermionic non-gauge fields. Besides being manifestly Lorentz and gauge-invariant, this action contains nine spacetime supersymmetries whose algebra closes off-shell. Octonions provide a convenient notation for displaying these symmetries. Ten-dimensional super-Yang-...
متن کاملPhotons and Gravitons as Goldstone Bosons , and the Cosmological Constant
We reexamine a scenario in which photons and gravitons arise as Goldstone bosons associated with the spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance. We study the emergence of Lorentz invariant low energy physics in an effective field theory framework, with non-Lorentz invariant effects arising from radiative corrections and higher order interactions. Spontaneous breaking of the Lorentz group also l...
متن کاملGoldstone Realization of Lorentz-symmetry and Supersymmetry at Finite Temperature*
The Ward-Takahashi identities of Lorentz symmetry are examined at finite temperature. It is shown that the Lorentz symmetry is broken with the Goldstone realization. The analogy with finite-temperature supersymmetry-breaking in an R-invariant model is explained. Submitted to Physics Letters B * Work supported by the Department of Energy, contract DE AC03 76SF00515. The supersymmetry has been kn...
متن کاملPinned Branes and New Non Lorentz Invariant Theories
We describe a mechanism for localising branes in ambient space. When a 3-form flux is turned on in a Taub-NUT space, an M5-brane gets an effective potential that pins it to the center of the space. A similar effect occurs for M2-branes and D-branes with appropriate fluxes. In carefully chosen limits of the external parameters, this leads to new theories that are decoupled from gravity and appea...
