Scheme dependence and the NSVZ β - function

چکیده
We investigate the connection between the NSVZ and the DRED forms of the gauge β-function in an N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory. We construct a coupling constant redefinition that relates the two forms up to four loops. By abelian calculations, we are able to infer the complete non-abelian form of β

Infrared Consistency of NSVZ and DRED Supersymmetric Gluodynamics
Padé approximant methods are applied to the known terms of the DRED β-function for N = 1 supersymmetric SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. Each of the [N |M ] approximants with N + M ≤ 4, M 6= 0 constructed from this series exhibits a positive pole which precedes any zeros of the approximant, consistent with the same infrared-attractor pole behaviour known to characterize the exact NSVZ β-function. A sim...
متن کاملThe soft scalar mass β - function
We present an exact formula for the β-function for the soft-breaking scalar mass in an N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory, in the form of an operator acting on the anomalous dimension. In particular we give the exact form for the correction due to the ǫ-scalar mass, and show that it has a particularly simple form in the renormalisation scheme corresponding to the exact NSVZ gauge β-function.
متن کاملHolomorphy , Rescaling Anomalies and Exact β Functions in Supersymmetric Gauge
There have long been known “exact” β functions for the gauge coupling in N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories, the so-called Novikov-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (NSVZ) β functions. Shifman and Vainshtein further related these β functions to the exact 1-loop running of the gauge coupling in a “Wilsonian” action. All these results, however, remain somewhat mysterious. We attempt to clarify these i...
متن کاملFurther All-loop Results in Softly-broken Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
It is proven that the recently found, renormalization-group invariant sum rule for the soft scalar masses in softly-broken N = 1 supersymmetric gauge-Yukawa unified theories can be extended to all orders in perturbation theory. In the case of finite unified theories, the sum rule ensures the all-loop finiteness in the soft supersymmetry breaking sector. As a byproduct the exact β function for t...

We calculate the three loop gauge β-function for an abelian N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory, using DRED. We construct a coupling constant redefinition that relates the result to the corresponding term in the NSVZ β-function, and by generalising this redefinition to the non-abelian case we derive the DRED three loop gauge β-function for the non-abelian case.
