Supersymmetry Breaking through Boundary Conditions Associated with the $U(1{)}_R$

Abstract

The effects of boundary conditions of the fields for the compactified space directions on the supersymmetric theories are discussed. The boundary conditions can be taken to be periodic up to the degrees of freedom of localized $U(1{)}_R$ transformations. The boundary condition breaks the supersymmery to yield universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms. The 4-dimensional supersymmetric QED with one flavour and the pure supersymmetric QCD are studied as toy models when one of the space coordinates is compactified on $S^1$.
