Ashok Das, Sergio A. Pernice
TL;DR
The paper introduces a novel symmetry breaking mechanism in super-symmetry that naturally results in zero vacuum energy, demonstrated through a 2+1 dimensional gauge theory, potentially addressing key cosmological and theoretical issues.
Contribution
It proposes a new symmetry breaking mechanism compatible with zero vacuum energy, demonstrated explicitly in a super-symmetric gauge theory.
Findings
Super-symmetry can be broken without generating vacuum energy.
The mechanism is explicitly shown in a 2+1 dimensional gauge theory.
Potential implications for solving the cosmological constant problem.
Abstract
A new mechanism for symmetry breaking is proposed which naturally avoids the constraints following from the usual theorems of symmetry breaking. In the context of super-symmetry, for example, the breaking may be consistent with a vanishing vacuum energy. A 2+1 dimensional super-symmetric gauge field theory is explicitly shown to break super-symmetry through this mechanism while maintaining a zero vacuum energy. This mechanism may provide a solution to two long standing problems, namely, dynamical super-symmetry breaking and the cosmological constant problem.
