Dynamics of Nonintegrable Phases in Softly Broken Supersymmetric Gauge Theory with Massless Adjoint Matter
Abstract
We study SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with massless adjoint matter defined on M3 S1. The SU(N) gauge symmetry is broken maximally to U(1)N-1, independent of the number of flavor and the boundary conditions of the fields associated with the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism of supersymmetry breaking. The mass of the Higgs scalar is generated through quantum corrections in the extra dimensions. The quantum correction can become manifest by a finite Higgs boson mass at low energies even in the limit of small extra dimensions thanks to the supersymmetry breaking parameter of the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism.
