New form of the NSVZ relation at the two-loop level

Abstract

Recently the exact NSVZ $\beta$-function was rewritten in the form of a relation between the $\beta$-function and the anomalous dimensions of the quantum gauge superfield, of the Faddeev--Popov ghosts, and of the matter superfields. It was also suggested that this form of the NSVZ equation follows from an underlying equation relating two-point Green functions of the theory. Here we demonstrate that this relation is satisfied at the two-loop level for the non-Abelian $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories in the case of using the simplest (BRST non-invariant) version of the higher covariant derivative regularization. Consequently, the integrals giving the two-loop $\beta$-function can be reduced to the one-loop integrals giving the anomalous dimensions of the quantum gauge superfield, of the Faddeev--Popov ghosts, and of the matter superfields.
