Softly Broken Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the supersymmetric non-linear O(N) sigma model with a soft breaking term. In two dimensions, we found that the mass difference between supersymmetric partner fields vanishes accidentally. In three dimensions, the mass difference is observed but O(N) symmetry is always broken also in the strong coupling region. [email protected] 1

A Note on Softly Broken MQCD
We consider generic MQCD configurations with matter described by semiinfinte D4-branes and softly broken supersymmetry. We show that the matter sector does not introduce supersymmetry breaking parameters so that the most relevant supersymmetry breaking operator at low energies is the gaugino mass term. By studying the run-away properties of these models in the decoupling limit of the adjoint ma...
متن کاملTwo-loop effective potential for a general renormalizable theory and softly broken supersymmetry
I compute the two-loop effective potential in the Landau gauge for a general renormalizable field theory in four dimensions. Results are presented for the MS renormalization scheme based on dimensional regularization, and for the DR and DR ′ schemes based on regularization by dimensional reduction. The last of these is appropriate for models with softly broken supersymmetry, such as the Minimal...
متن کاملRegularization Dependence of Running Couplings in Softly Broken Supersymmetry
We discuss the dependence of running couplings on the choice of regularization method in a general softly-broken N = 1 supersymmetric theory. Regularization by dimensional reduction respects supersymmetry, but standard dimensional regularization does not. We find expressions for the differences between running couplings in the modified minimal subtraction schemes of these two regularization met...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction over Coset Spaces and Supersymmetry Breaking
We address the question of supersymmetry breaking of a higher dimensional supersymmetric theory due to coset space dimensional reduction. In particular we study a ten-dimensional supersymmetric E8 gauge theory which is reduced over all six-dimensional coset spaces. We find that the original supersymmetry is completely broken in the process of dimensional reduction when the coset spaces are symm...
متن کاملBreaking of Supersymmetry at Intermediate Energy*
We consider the proposal that supersymmetry is broken at a scale p midway between the Planck scale M and the usual weak scale. We show how a phenomenological explicitly softly broken supersymmetric theory can emerge below scale I-I. The characteristic scale for the explicit supersymmetry breaking is of order a~zOl. Identifying this with the weak scale ~250 GeV gives w u 10'2 GeV.
متن کاملSoftly Broken N = 1 Supersymmetric QCD
We study softly broken N = 1 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group SU(Nc) and Nf flavours of quarks for Nf > Nc + 1. We investigate the phase structure of its dual theory adding generic soft supersymmetry breking terms, i.e. soft scalar masses, trilinear coupling terms of scalar fields and gaugino masses. It is found that the trilinear coupling terms play an improtant role in determining the ...
