Non-standard soft supersymmetry breaking

TL;DR

This paper investigates a broader class of soft supersymmetry-breaking terms, corrects previous one-loop beta function calculations, and identifies new finite supersymmetric theories, enhancing understanding of SUSY breaking mechanisms.

Contribution

It introduces a more general framework for soft SUSY-breaking masses, corrects existing beta function results, and discovers a new class of finite supersymmetric theories.

Findings

Corrected one-loop beta functions in MSSM context

Identified a new class of finite supersymmetric theories

Expanded the understanding of SUSY-breaking interactions

Abstract

We explore a more general class of soft supersymmetry-breaking masses and interactions than that usually considered, both in general and in the MSSM context, where our results for the one-loop $\beta$-functions correct some errors in the literature. We identify a new class of one-loop finite supersymmetric theories.
