Three-loop $\beta$-functions and two-loop anomalous dimensions for MSSM regularized by higher covariant derivatives in an arbitrary supersymmetric subtraction scheme

Abstract

Three-loop $\beta$-functions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model regularized by higher covariant derivatives are obtained for an arbitrary supersymmetric subtraction scheme. For this purpose we first calculate two-loop anomalous dimensions for all MSSM chiral matter superfields defined in terms of the bare couplings. Then we use the NSVZ equations for the renormalization group functions defined in terms of the bare couplings, which are valid in all orders in the case of using the higher covariant derivative regularization. This gives the three-loop $\beta$-functions defined in terms of the bare couplings. After that, we construct the three-loop $\beta$-functions and the two-loop anomalous dimensions standardly defined in terms of the renormalized couplings for an arbitrary subtraction scheme. As a nontrivial correctness test, we verify that for a certain renormalization prescription the general results reproduce the ones obtained earlier in the $\overline{\mbox{DR}}$ scheme. Also this can be considered as an indepedent confirmation of the $\overline{\mbox{DR}}$ results.
