Evidence for discrete chiral symmetry breaking in N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

Abstract: In a numerical Monte Carlo simulation of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with dynamical gauginos we find evidence for two degenerate ground states at the supersymmetry point corresponding to zero gaugino mass. This is consistent with the expected pattern of spontaneous discrete chiral symmetry breaking Z 4 → Z 2 caused by gaugino condensation.

“…What is less obvious though is that the Z(3) symmetry plays any role for the deconfinement of the dynamical degrees of freedom participating in the thermodynamics, in particular for 3 We note that the model we are discussing here is closely related to supersymmetric gauge theories. For a recent attempt to simulate supersymmetric Yang Mills theories on the lattice see [13]. The possibility of the breaking of the Z(N ) center symmetry in finite temperature supersymmetric models has recently also been discussed in Ref.…”
