On-shell renormalization scheme for $\mathcal{N}=1$ SQED and the NSVZ relation

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the renormalization of $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics, regularized by higher derivatives, in the on-shell scheme. It is demonstrated that in this scheme the exact Novikov, Shifman, Vainshtein, and Zakharov (NSVZ) equation relating the $\beta$-function to the anomalous dimension of the matter superfields is valid in all orders of the perturbation theory. This implies that the on-shell scheme enters the recently constructed continuous set of NSVZ subtraction schemes. To verify this statement, we compare the anomalous dimension of the matter superfields in the two-loop approximation and the $\beta$-function in the three-loop approximation, which are explicitly calculated in this scheme. The finite renormalizations relating the on-shell scheme to some other NSVZ subtraction schemes formulated previously are obtained.
