Spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in large - N matrix models with slowly varying potential
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a class of matrix models, where supersymmetry (SUSY) is spontaneously broken at the matrix size N infinite. The models are obtained by dimensional reduction of matrix-valued SUSY quantum mechanics. The potential of the models is slowly varying, and the large-N limit is taken with the slowly varying limit. First, we explain our formalism, introducing an external field to detect spontaneous SUSY breaking, analogously to ordinary (bosonic) symmetry breaking. It is observed that SUSY is possibly broken even in systems in less than one-dimension, for example, discretized quantum mechanics with a finite number of discretized time steps. Then, we consider spontaneous SUSY breaking in the SUSY matrix models with slowly varying potential, where the external field is turned off after the large-N and slowly varying limit, analogously to the thermodynamic limit in statistical systems. On the other hand, without taking the slowly varying limit, in the SUSY matrix model with a double-well potential whose SUSY is broken due to instantons for finite N , a number of supersymmetric behavior is explicitly seen at large N . It convinces us that the instanton effect disappears and the SUSY gets restored in the large-N limit.

We review the " no-go " theorems that severely constrain the breaking of N = 2 supersymmetry to N = 1 (both in rigid supersymmetry and supergravity), and we exhibit some models that evade them.
متن کاملSpontaneous Partial Breaking of N = 2 Supersymmetry and the U ( N ) Gauge Model
We briefly review the properties of the N = 2 U(N) gauge model with/without matters. On the vacua, N = 2 supersymmetry and the gauge symmetry are spontaneously broken to N = 1 and a product gauge group, respectively. The masses of the supermultiplets appearing on the N = 1 vacua are given. We also discuss the relation to the matrix model.
متن کاملThe scale of supersymmetry breaking as a free parameter
While supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model can be fully described in terms of explicitly broken global supersymmetry, this description is only effective. Once related to spontaneous breaking in a more fundamental theory, the effective parameters translate to functions of two distinct scales, the scale of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking and the scale of its mediation to the standar...
متن کاملSpontaneous Scherk-schwarz Supersymmetry Breaking and Radion Stabilization *
In this talk I review the issues of supersymmetry breaking and radion stabilization in a five dimensional theory compactified on the Z 2 orbifold. Supersymmetry breaking by Scherk-Schwarz boundary conditions is interpreted as spontaneous breaking of local supersymmetry by the Hosotani mechanism. The auxiliary field responsible for spontaneous supersymmetry breaking is inside the five-dimensiona...
