On Supersymmetry at High Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
While it is possible to find examples of field theories with a spontaneously broken symmetry at high temperature, in renormalizable supersymmetric models any internal symmetry gets always restored. Recently, a counterexample was suggested in the context of nonrenormalizable supersymmetric theories. We show that non negligible higher loop effects actually restore the symmetry, without compromising the validity of perturbation theory. We give some arguments as to why the proposed mechanism should not work in general.

Dilaton Destabilization at High Temperature
Many compactifications of higher–dimensional supersymmetric theories have approximate vacuum degeneracy. The associated moduli fields are stabilized by non–perturbative effects which break supersymmetry. We show that at finite temperature the effective potential of the dilaton acquires a negative linear term. This destabilizes all moduli fields at sufficiently high temperature. We compute the c...
متن کاملOn Supersymmetry at Finite Temperature
We consider the effective theories governing the sensitivity to the plasma of certain high-energy observables in supersymmetric plasmas, and point out that they preserve supersymmetry. Our findings generalize previous observations on asymptotic thermal masses in weakly coupled plasmas, to both the real and imaginary parts of self-energies, on the light cone and away from it, in weakly and stron...
متن کامل2 3 Fe b 19 99 HUPD - 9821 Pattern of Chiral Symmetry Restoration at Finite Temperature in A Supersymmetric Composite Model
The structure of chiral symmetry restorations at finite temperature is thoroughly investigated in the supersymmetric Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a soft supersymmetry breaking term. It is found that the broken chiral symmetry at vanishing temperature is restored at sufficiently high temperature in two patterns, i. e., the first order and second order phase transition depending on the choice of...
متن کاملSearch for supersymmetry in top final states at CMS
A search for SUSY using the top quark plus missing transverse energy (MET), in a low mass mSUGRA test point is performed. A two–constraints kinematic fit is utilized to extract the top quark, either b-jet the ones that is recognizable or it is not recognizable. It is shown that for point LM1, for the former situation, a 5σ excess can be achieved with 30 pb-1 and for the latter situation, it can...
متن کاملFinite-Temperature Supersymmetry: The Wess-Zumino Model
We investigate the breakdown of supersymmetry at finite temperature. While it has been proven that temperature always breaks supersymmetry, the nature of this breaking is less clear. On the one hand, a study of the Ward-Takahashi identities suggests a spontaneous breakdown of supersymmetry without the existence of a Goldstino, while on the other hand it has been shown that in any supersymmetric...
متن کاملCosmological Gravitino Production in Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Models
We study the cosmological gravitino production in gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models, while properly taking into account the existence of the messenger mass scale. It is found that for sizable parameter range of the model the messenger sector contribution leads to more stringent upper bound on the reheat temperature obtained from the condition that the universe should not be overclose...
