The Higgs Mechanism in N=2 Superspace
Norbert Dragon, Sergei Kuzenko (Institut fuer Theoretische Physik,, Universitaet Hannover)
TL;DR
This paper presents a manifestly supersymmetric formulation of the Higgs mechanism within N=2 super Yang-Mills theories using harmonic superspace, providing a new perspective on symmetry breaking in supersymmetric models.
Contribution
It introduces a novel harmonic superspace approach to describe the Higgs mechanism in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories, maintaining manifest supersymmetry.
Findings
Harmonic superspace effectively encodes the Higgs mechanism in N=2 theories.
The formulation preserves supersymmetry explicitly during symmetry breaking.
Provides a framework for further studies of supersymmetric gauge theories.
Abstract
We describe the Higgs mechanism for general N=2 super Yang-Mills theories in a manifestly supersymmetric form based on the harmonic superspace.
