Algebraic Renormalization of N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

چکیده
The complete renormalization procedure of a general N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory in the Wess-Zumino gauge is presented, using the regulator free “algebraic renormalization” procedure. Both gauge invariance and supersymmetry are included into one single BRS invariance. The form of the general nonabelian anomaly is given. Furthermore, it is explained how the gauge BRS and the supersymmetry functional operators can be extracted from the general BRS operator. It is then shown that the supersymmetry operators actually belong to the closed, finite, Wess-Zumino superalgebra when their action is restricted to the space of the “gauge invariant operators”, i.e. to the cohomology classes of the gauge BRS operator. An erratum is added at the end of the paper. Supported in part by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Algebraic Renormalization of N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories with Supersymmetry Breaking Masses 1
We provide N = 1 Super Yang-Mills theory in the Wess-Zumino gauge with mass terms for the supersymmetric partners of the gauge fields and of the matter fields, together with a supersymmetric mass term for the fermionic matter fields. All mass terms are chosen in such a way to induce soft supersymmetry breakings at most, while preserving gauge invariance to all orders of perturbation theory. The...
متن کاملNon-renormalization theorems from extension to local coupling
The extension of coupling constants to space time dependent fields, the local couplings, makes possible to derive the non-renormalization theorems of supersymmetry by an algebraic characterization of Lagrangian N = 1 supermultiplets. For superYang-Mills theories the construction implies non-renormalization of the coupling beyond one-loop order. However, renormalization in presence of the local ...
متن کاملAlgebraic renormalization of supersymmetric gauge theories with dimensionful parameters
It is usually believed that there are no perturbative anomalies in supersymmetric gauge theories beyond the well-known chiral anomaly. In this paper we revisit this issue, because previously given arguments are incomplete. Specifically, we rule out the existence of soft anomalies, i.e., quantum violations of supersymmetric Ward identities proportional to a mass parameter in a classically supers...
متن کاملNon-Renormalization Theorems in Non-Renormalizable Theories
A perturbative non-renormalization theorem is presented that applies to general supersymmetric theories, including nonrenormalizable theories in which the ∫ dθ integrand is an arbitrary gauge-invariant function F (Φ,W ) of the chiral superfields Φ and gauge field-strength superfields W , and the ∫ dθ-integrand is restricted only by gauge invariance. In the Wilsonian Lagrangian, F (Φ,W ) is unre...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Gauge Theories in the Exact Renormalization Group Approach
In these notes the exact renormalization group formulation of the scalar theory is briefly reviewed. This regularization scheme is then applied to supersymmetric theories. In case of a supersymmetric gauge theory it is also shown how to recover gauge invariance, broken by the introduction of the infrared cutoff.
