We study the decoupling effects in N=1 (global) supersymmetric theories with chiral superfields at the one-loop level. The examples of gauge neutral chiral superfields with the minimal (renormalizable) as well as non-minimal (non- renormalizable) couplings are considered, and decoupling in gauge theories with U(1) gauge superfields that couple to heavy chiral matter is studied. We calculate the one-loop corrected effective Lagrangians that involve light fields and heavy fields with mass of order M. The elimination of heavy fields by equations of motion leads to decoupling effects with terms that grow logarithmically with M. These corrections renormalize light fields and couplings in the theory (in accordance with the decoupling theorem). When the field theory is an effective theory of the underlying fundamental theory, like superstring theory, where the couplings are calculable, such decoupling effects modify the low-energy predictions for the effective couplings of light fields. In particular, for the class of string vacua with an anomalous U(1) the vacuum restabilization triggers the decoupling effects, which can significantly modify the low energy predictions for the couplings of the surviving light fields. We also demonstrate that quantum corrections to the chiral potential depending on massive background superfields and corresponding to supergraphs with internal massless lines and external massive lines can also arise at the two-loop level.
We consider the scalar sector of a general renormalizable theory and evaluate the effective potential through three loops analytically. We encounter three-loop vacuum bubble diagrams with up to two masses and six lines, which we solve using different
Spontaneous breaking of quantum scale invariance may provide a solution to the hierarchy and cosmological constant problems. In a scale-invariant regularization, we compute the two-loop potential of a higgs-like scalar $phi$ in theories in which scal
We investigate supersymmetry breaking meta-stable vacua in N=2, SU(2)times U(1) gauge theory with N_f=2 massless flavors perturbed by the addition of small N=1 preserving mass terms in a presence of a Fayet-Iliopoulos term. We derive the low energy e
We study the self energies of all particles which appear in a lattice regularization of supersymmetric QCD (${cal N}=1$). We compute, perturbatively to one-loop, the relevant two-point Greens functions using both the dimensional and the lattice regul
A new formalism for lattice gauge theory is developed that preserves Poincare symmetry in a discrete universe. We define the $mathbb{1}$-loop, a generalization of the Wilson loop that reformulates classical differential equations of motion as identit
