Two-loop effective potential for general higher-derivative superfield models

Abstract

For a three-dimensional higher-derivative scalar superfield model, and a four-dimensional higher-derivative chiral superfield model, where which the higher-derivative operators are described by polynomials of arbitrary degrees, we explicitly calculate the two-loop effective potential.
