Phase-equivalent potentials from supersymmetry

TL;DR: In this article, a supersymmetry transformation is used to suppress the ground state of a new ground state, which introduces an additional r-2 singularity in the potential in agreement with a generalised Levinson theorem.

Asymptotically Free Natural Supersymmetric Twin Higgs Model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a supersymmetric model was proposed in which the twin Higgs mechanism is introduced by a new asymptotically free gauge interaction, which has interesting flavor phenomenology including the top quark decay into the Higgs boson and the up quark which may be discovered at the LHC.

Broken global symmetries in supersymmetric theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the superpartners of real Goldstone bosons, resulting from global U(1) symmetries broken at superlarge energies MX, obtain, in gauge theories with spontaneously broken supersymmetry (at energies m ≳ mW), at most masses of O( m 2 M X ) at the tree level.

The goldstini variations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the goldstini scenario of Cheung, Nomura, and Thaler, in which multiple independent supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking sectors lead to multiple would-be goldstinos, changing collider and cosmological phenomenology.

Three-dimensional N=4 extended supersymmetric quantum mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, a description of three-dimensional N=4 extended supersymmetric quantum mechanics is proposed, based on the superfield construction of the action, and the main feature of the approach is the unification of threedimensional bosonic coordinate vector and fermionic spinor of O(3) in one irreducible representation of N = 4 supersymmetry algebra.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
