Title: Hamiltonian truncation study of supersymmetric quantum mechanics: S-matrix and metastable states

Abstract

We implement the Rayleigh-Ritz method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics with flat directions, and extract the S-matrix and metastable resonances. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated in two strongly coupled systems: an N = 1 toy supermembrane model, and an N = 4 model with a U(1) gauge multiplet and a charged chiral multiplet.

New type of N = 4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics

Journal Article Ivanov, Evgeny ; Sidorov, Stepan - AIP Conference Proceedings

We overview a new type of supersymmetric quantum mechanics models based on the worldline realizations of the supergroup SU(2|1). Our main focus is on the models associated with the chiral multiplets (2,4,2). Considering two nonequivalent deformations of the standard N = 4, d = 1 superspace, we define the relevant chiral superfields and construct their SU(2|1) invariant actions. We give off- and on-shell descriptions of these models and perform their quantization. The basic peculiarities of such models and interrelations between them are briefly discussed.

High-temperature expansion of supersymmetric partition functions

Journal Article Ardehali, Arash Arabi ; Liu, James T. ; Szepietowski, Phillip - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Di Pietro and Komargodski have recently demonstrated a four-dimensional counterpart of Cardy’s formula, which gives the leading high-temperature (β → 0) behavior of supersymmetric partition functions Z^SUSY(β). By focusing on superconformal theories, we elaborate on the subleading contributions to their formula when applied to free chiral and U(1) vector multiplets. In particular, we see that the high-temperature expansion of ln Z^SUSY(β) terminates at order β⁰. We also demonstrate how their formula must be modified when applied to SU(N) toric quiver gauge theories in the planar (N → ∞) limit. Our method for regularizing the one-loop determinants of chiral and vectormore »« less

Supersymmetric monopole quantum mechanics on a sphere

Journal Article Hong, Soon-Tae ; Lee, Joohan ; Lee, Tae Hoon ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics of a charged particle on sphere in the background of Dirac magnetic monopole. We adopt CP(1) model approach in which the monopole interaction is free of singularity. It turns out that this approach admits a compact N=2 superspace formulation. In order to exploit manifest U(1) covariance in the superspace formalism, we introduce a gauged chiral superfield which is annihilated by the gauge covariant superderivative instead of the usual superderivative. We carry out the Dirac quantization of the resulting system and compute the quantum mechanical spectrum. We obtain the condition for the spontaneous breaking ofmore »« less

Metastable vacuum in spontaneously broken N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory

Journal Article Arai, Masato ; Montonen, Claus ; Sasaki, Shin ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We consider an N=2 supersymmetric SU(2)xU(1) gauge theory with N{sub f}=2 massless flavors and a Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) term. In the presence of the FI term, supersymmetry is spontaneously broken at tree level (on the Coulomb branch), leaving a pseudoflat direction in the classical potential. This vacuum degeneracy is removed once quantum corrections are taken into account. Because of the SU(2) gauge dynamics, the effective potential exhibits a local minimum at the dyon point, where not only supersymmetry but also U(1){sub R} symmetry is broken, while a supersymmetric vacuum would be realized toward infinity with the runaway behavior of the potential.more »« less

Locally supersymmetric grand unification

Journal Article Chamseddine, A H ; Arnowitt, R ; Nath, P - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

A locally supersymmetric grand unification program is proposed which couples the N = 1 supergravity multiplet to an arbitrary grand unified gauge group with any number of left-handed chiral multiplets and a gauge vector multiplet. A specific model is discussed where it is shown that not only do the gravitational interactions eliminate the degeneracy of the vacuum state encountered in global supersymmetry, but simultaneously can break both supersymmetry and SU(2)xU(1) down to a residual SU(3)/sup c/xU(1) symmetry at approx.300 GeV.
