Introduction to the BRS Cohomology of the Massless Wess Zumino Model: Cybersusy II

Abstract

This paper is the second paper in a series of four papers that introduce cybersusy, which is a new method for analyzing supersymmetry breaking in the standard supersymmetric model (SSM). The first paper was a summary of the results and the three next papers set out the details. In this second paper, we derive the full BRS operator and action for the general massless Wess-Zumino chiral supersymmetry action. This includes the source terms which bring in the equations of motion. The auxiliary field is integrated, which removes manifest supersymmetry, but which allows the Legendre transform to operate correctly to define one-particle-irreducible vertices from the connected Green's functions. Then some special terms in the BRS cohomology are described, together with the constraint equations that they must satisfy. These `simple dotspinors' are generated by a `fundamental dotspinor', which is constructed partly from the Zinn sources. The equations of motion play a very important role in the cohomology for this theory. These dotspinors play an interesting role in the BRS cohomology of the standard model, which is the subject of the third paper in the series.
