Vacuum condensates as a mechanism of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking

TL;DR

This paper reviews a mechanism for spontaneous supersymmetry breaking driven by vacuum condensates, highlighting its theoretical basis, potential physical realizations, and a proposed experimental detection method using optical lattices.

Contribution

It introduces a novel mechanism for SUSY breaking via vacuum condensates and suggests an experimental approach to observe this phenomenon.

Findings

Vacuum condensates can induce spontaneous SUSY breaking.

The mechanism is analogous to finite-temperature SUSY breaking in TFD formalism.

An experimental setup using optical lattices is proposed for detection.

Abstract

A possible mechanism for the spontaneous breaking of SUSY, based on the presence of vacuum condensates, is reviewed. Such a mechanism could occur in many physical examples, both at the fundamental and emergent level, and would be formally analogous to spontaneous SUSY breaking at finite temperature in the TFD formalism, in which case it can be applied as well. A possible experimental setup for detecting such a breaking through measurement of the Anandan-Aharonov invariants associated with vacuum condensates in an optical lattice model is proposed.
