World-Line Path Integral Study of Supersymmetry Breaking in the Wess-Zumino Model

Abstract

We study supersymmetry breaking in the lattice N=1 Wess-Zumino model by the world-line path integral algorithm. The ground state energy and supersymmetric Ward identities are exploited to support the expected symmetry breaking in finite volume. Non-Gaussian fluctuations of the topological charge are discussed and related to the infinite volume transition.
