1 Introduction
SUSY [1, 2] and its spontaneous breakdown are profound notions related to the space-time symmetry and play crucial roles for the unified description of space-time and matter, threrefore, to be studied not only in the low energy particle physics but also in the cosmology, i.e. in the framework necessarily accomodating graviton.
The nonlinear supersymmmetric general relativity (NLSUSY GR) theory [3] is constructed based upon the nonlinear (NL) representation of SUSY [2, 4] and the principle of the general relativity (GR) for four-dimensional space-time (d = 4) manifold equipped with NLSUSY degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) on tangent space, which proposes a new paradigm (called SGM scenario [3, 5, 6]) for describing the unity of nature. The NLSUSY invariant GR action (in terms of the unified vierbein ) desribes geometrically the basic principle, i.e. the ultimate shape of nature is unstable space-time with the constant energy density (cosmological term) . NLSUSY GR decays (called Big Dcay) spontaneously and creates quantum mechanically ordinary Riemann space-time and spin- massless Nambu-Goldstone (NG) fermion matter (called superon) with the potential (cosmological term) depicted by the SGM action (in terms of the ordinary vierbein and the NG fermions ), which ignites the Big Bang of the universe. We showed explicitly in our previous works in asymptotic Riemann-flat () space-time that the vacuum (true minimum) in SGM scenario is which is achieved when the NG fermions constitute the linear (L) SUSY representation dictated by the space-time -extended NLSUSY symmetry. That is, all local fields of the LSUSY supermultiplet and the familiar LSUSY gauge theory emerge as the composites of NG fermions on the true vacuum. In the SGM scenario all (observed) particles are assigned uniquely into a single irreducible representation of () super-Poincaré (SP) group as an on-shell supermultiplet of LSUSY [7]. As mentioned above, they are considered to be realized as (massless) eigenstates of () SP composed of NG fermions (superons) which correspond to the coset space coordinates for of NLSUSY describing the spontaneous SUSY breaking (SSB) by itself.
In order to extract the low energy physical contents of NLSUSY GR and to examine the SGM scenario, we investigated the NLSUSY GR model in asymptotic Riemann-flat space-time, where the NLSUSY model appears from the cosmological term of NLSUSY GR. The NLSUSY model [2] are recasted (related) systematically to various LSUSY (free) theories with the SSB [8]-[14] and also to interacting LSUSY (Yukawa-interaction and QED) theories in two-dimensional space-time () [15]-[17] under the adoption of the simplest SUSY invariant constraints and the subsequent SUSY invariant relations in NL/L SUSY relation. (Note that SUSY in SGM scenario realizes vector field [12]. Therefore SUSY is the viable minimal case.) The SUSY invariant relations, which are obtained systematically from the SUSY invariant constraints [8, 10] in the superfield formulation [18], describe all component fields in the LSUSY multiplets as the composites of the NG-fermion superons and give the relations between the NLSUSY model and the LSUSY theories with the SSB. Through the NL/L SUSY relation, we pointed out that the scale of the SSB in NLSUSY which is naturally related to the cosmological term of NLSUSY GR gives a simple explanation of the mysterious (observed) numerical relation between the (four-dimensional) dark energy density of the universe and the neutrino mass [6, 19] in the vacuum of the SUSY QED theory [20].
In the above SGM scenario it is an interesting and crucial problem to study how the (bare) gauge coupling constant of the SUSY QED theory is determined or whether it is calculable or not, provided the theory is that of everything. In this paper we study the SUSY QED theory in for simplicity of calculations without loss of generality by linearizing NLSUSY under general SUSY invariant constraints which produce the subsequent general SUSY invariant relations. The NL/L SUSY relation for the SUSY QED theory are discussed generally as self-contained as possible. We find in the general NL/L SUSY relation a remarkable mechanism which determines the magnitude of the bare gauge coupling constant from constant terms in SUSY invariant relations (vacuum expectation values (v.e.v.’s)) of auxiliary fields. We show that the NL/L SUSY relation determines the magnitude of the electromagnetic coupling constant (i.e. the fine structure constant) of LSUSY QED and argue remarkable physical significances of the NL/L SUSY relation.
2 LSUSY QED action
We construct manifestly LSUSY QED action in . Let us first introduce the superfield formulation of SUSY QED theory in , in which a (general) SUSY QED action is constructed from general gauge and scalar (matter) superfields on superspace coordinates (). The , general gauge superfield [21, 22] is defined by
[TABLE]
where component fields in the superfield (2.1) are denoted by for two scalar fields, for two doublet (Majorana) spinor fields, for a pseudo scalar field, for a vector field, and for three scalar fields (). The , scalar superfield is expressed as
[TABLE]
where component fields in the superfield (2.2) are denoted by for doublet scalar fields, for two (Majorana) spinor fields and for doublet auxiliary scalar fields. The supertransformations of the gauge and scalar superfields with constant (Majorana) spinor parameters are given as
[TABLE]
where supercharges , which determine LSUSY transformations of the component fields in the power series expansion with respect to .
The general SUSY QED (gauge) action (with SSB) is written in terms of the general gauge and the scalar (matter) superfields (2.1) and (2.2) (for the massless case) as
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
where , , and are the kinetic terms for the vector supermultiplet, the Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) term, the kinetic terms for the scalar (matter) supermultiplet and the gauge interaction terms, respectively. In Eq.(2.5) and are scalar and pseudo scalar superfields defined by
[TABLE]
with the differential operators . In Eq.(2.6) is an arbitrary dimensionless parameter and is a constant with the dimension (mass)-1, while in Eq.(2.7) is a gauge coupling constant whose dimension is (mass)1 in .
The explicit component form of the SUSY QED action (2.4), i.e. the actions from (2.5) to (2.7), is
[TABLE]
where we use gauge invariant quantities [16, 18] denoted by
[TABLE]
with and , which are invariant ( transforms as an Abelian gauge field) under a SUSY generalized gauge transformation, , with generalized gauge parameters in the form of the scalar superfields. In Eqs. from (2.9) to (2.12) , , and are defined as the actions which are expressed in terms of only the component fields corresponding to the d.o.f. for the minimal off-shell vector supermultiplet and the components for the scalar supermultiplet, while the ellipses in Eq.(2.12) mean the terms depending on the redundant auxiliary fields in the general gauge superfield and higher order terms of . The SUSY QED action (2.4) in the Wess-Zumino (WZ) gauge [18, 22] gives the minimal action for the minimal off-shell vector supermultiplet with the arbitrary .
3 Linearization of NLSUSY
In order to discuss the (general) NL/L SUSY relation for the SUSY QED theory in without imposing a priori any special gauge conditions, let us show explicitly the SUSY invariant constraints and the subsequent SUSY invariant relations in the most general form. They are obtained by introducing NG fermions with their supertransformations (on a hypersurface defined by in the superspace), i.e. NLSUSY transformations [2],
[TABLE]
The NLSUSY transformations (3.1) make the following action invariant; namely, the NLSUSY action is
[TABLE]
where is the determinant [2] describing the dynamics of (massless) , i.e. in ,
[TABLE]
with .
The SUSY invariant relations, which describe all the component fields in the SUSY QED theory as the composites of the NG fermions , are systematically obtained by considering the superfields on specific supertranslations of superspace coordinates [8, 10] with a parameter , which are denoted by ,
[TABLE]
where the origin of corresponds to the hypersurface for NLSUSY. Indeed, we define the general gauge and the scalar (matter) superfields on as
[TABLE]
where and may be expanded as
[TABLE]
In Eqs.(3.6) and (3.7) the component fields and can be expressed in terms of the initial component fields and in Eqs.(2.1) and (2.2) and the NG fermions [14, 17]. According to the supertransformations (2.3) and (3.1), the superfields (3.5) transform homogeneously [8, 10] as
[TABLE]
with , which mean the components and do not transform each other, respectively. Therefore, the following conditions, i.e. the SUSY invariant constraints eliminating the other d.o.f. than , and , can be imposed,
[TABLE]
which are invariant (conserved quantities) under the supertrasformations (2.3) and (3.1).
The constraints (3.9) and (3.10) are written in the most general form as follows;
[TABLE]
where the mass dimensions of constants (or constant spinors) in are defined by (, , [math], [math], [math], ) for (, , , , , ), ([math], , ) for (, , ) and [math] for for convenience. The general SUSY invariant constraints (3.11) and (3.12) can be solved with respect to the initial component fields and in terms of ; namely, the SUSY invariant relations are calculated systematically and straightforwardly as
[TABLE]
while the SUSY invariant relations are
[TABLE]
For simplicity of arguments about NL/L SUSY relation, we reduce the above SUSY invariant constraints and the SUSY invariant relations (the massless eigenstates composed of ) to more simple (but nontrivial and general) expressions. Since in Eqs.(3.13) and (3.14) the constants (the v.e.v.’s) which do not couple to are only and , we put
[TABLE]
except for and which are the fundamental constants in the simplest and nontrivial NL/L SUSY relation for the SUSY QED theory with the SSB [15, 17]. Further we put
[TABLE]
because we would like to attribute straightforwardly the SUSY QED action (2.4) to the NLSUSY action (3.2) up to a normalization factor when the SUSY invariant relations are substituted into Eq.(2.4). Then, the SUSY invariant constraints (3.11) and (3.12) become
[TABLE]
and the SUSY invariant relations (3.13) and (3.14) reduce to
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
which are written in the form containing some vanishing terms due to .
4 NL/L SUSY relation for SUSY QED
In this section we discuss the relation between the SUSY QED action (2.4) and the NLSUSY action (3.2). Substituting the reduced (but general) SUSY invariant relations (3.19) and (3.20) into Eqs.(2.5), (2.6) and (2.7) gives the relations among the actions as follows;
[TABLE]
which can be obtained systematically by changing the integration variables in the actions (2.5), (2.6) and (2.7) from to under the SUSY invariant constraints (3.17) and (3.18) (see, for example, [14]). Therefore, from Eq.(4.1) we obtain a general NL/L SUSY relation for the SUSY QED theory in as
[TABLE]
with a normalization factor defined by
[TABLE]
Here we remind ourselves of the NLSUSY GR model in SGM scenario. In the SGM action the relative scale of the kinetic terms for the NG fermions to the Einstein GR theory is fixed as ; namely, the SGM action can be written (in ) as [3, 5, 6]
[TABLE]
and then the dimensional constant in the determinant (3.3) is fixed to . By regarding the NLSUSY GR theory in SGM scenario as the fundamental theory of space-time and matter, is attributed to which is the cosmological term of SGM (NLSUSY GR) action for the asymptotically flat space-time, i.e. we put
[TABLE]
This situation is different from the string theory, where (the magnitude of the coupling contant of) the gauge theory appears by the compactification of extra space.
Remarkably, the condition (4.5) gives the gauge coupling constant in terms of , and as
[TABLE]
Now let us discuss the relation between the general SUSY QED action (2.4) and the minimal one for the minimal off-shell vector supermultiplet in the NL/L SUSY relation (4.2) with the normalization condition (4.3). The (minimal) actions , , and defined in Eqs. from (2.9) to (2.12) is related to the general SUSY QED action of Eq.(4.1) in NL/L SUSY relation as
[TABLE]
where and the SUSY invariant relations of the auxiliary fields in Eq.(3.20) have been changed (relaxed) by four NG fermion self-interaction terms as
[TABLE]
Obviously, the minimal SUSY QED action for the minimal off-shell vector supermultiplet is included in the relations (4.7) at the leading order of the factor .
It can be seen easily that the numerical factor in the relation (4.7) is absorbed into the action by rescaling the whole scalar supermultiplet by and by translating the auxiliary field by in the gauge action (2.7) as
[TABLE]
Indeed, the actions (2.5), (2.6) and (2.7) in terms of the fields become
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
Therefore, we obtain the ordinary SUSY QED action for the minimal off-shell vector supermultiplet with the gauge coupling constant (4.6), i.e.
[TABLE]
where the minimal SUSY QED ( gauge) action is defined by
[TABLE]
Interestingly defined by the action (2.7) depends upon the constant terms (the v.e.v.’s) of the auxiliary fields, i.e. the vacuum structures. (Note that the bare is an arbitrary parameter, provided corresponding to the adoption of the WZ gauge throughout the arguments.)
5 Summary and discussions
In this paper we have studied the NL/L SUSY relation for the SUSY QED theory in starting from the most general SUSY invariant constraints (3.11) and (3.12) and the subsequent SUSY invariant relations (3.13) and (3.14). After reducing those constraints and relations to simpler (but general) expressions of Eqs. from (3.17) to (3.20), we have obtained the general NL/L SUSY invariant relation (4.2) which produces the overall (normalization) factor (4.3) depending on the gauge coupling constant . The overall factor (compositeness condition for all particles) should be (4.5) in SGM scenario for the basic NLSUSY GR theory, which gives the relations between and the constant terms in SUSY invariant relations (the v.e.v.’s) of the auxiliary fields, , and as in Eq.(4.6). We have shown in detail that Eq.(4.6) holds in the subsequent WZ gauge as well.
Our study may indicate that the general structure of the constant terms (the v.e.v.’s) of auxiliary fields for the general (gauge) superfield and the NL/L SUSY relations play crucial roles in SUSY (composite) theory by determining the true vacuum of NLSUSY GR (SGM) through the Big Decay and the SSB, explaining simply the observed mysterious numerical relations between the (dark) energy density of the universe () at the large scale and the neutrino mass at the (low energy) local frame [19, 20],
[TABLE]
(where is the coupling constant of superon with the vacuum) and determining the magnitude of the (bare) gauge coupling constant (i.e. the SUSY compositeness condition for all particles including the auxiliary fields). These are characteristic features of the SGM scenario for unity of space-time and matter, where the ordinaly LSUSY theory in flat space-time originates from the cosmological term of NLSUSY GR action. The similar arguments in for more general SUSY invariant constraints and for the large SUSY, especially are interesting and crucial.
Finally we just mention that Eq.(5.1) of SGM scenario may indicate the superfluidity of nature, i.e. what Landau-Gintzburg theory is to BCS theory of superconductivity, LSUSY theory is to NLSUSY GR (SGM) of the superfluidity of space-time and matter. The observed particles of LSUSY theory may be the SUSY composites (eigenstates) of NG fermions dictated by the space-time symmetry.
