Fully Off-shell Effective Action and its Supersymmetry in Matrix Theory II

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

In a previous work, we computed the fully off-shell effective action Γ\Gamma and the corresponding quantum-corrected supersymmetry (SUSY) transformation operator δϵ\delta_\epsilon for the so-called source-probe configuration in Matrix theory at one loop at order 4 in the derivative expansion, and showed that they satisfy the SUSY Ward identity δϵΓ=0\delta_\epsilon \Gamma=0. In this article, starting from the most general form of Γ\Gamma, we demonstrate that, conversely, given such δϵ\delta_\epsilon the SUSY Ward identity determines Γ\Gamma uniquely to the order specified above. Our demonstration does not require the explicit knowledge of the quantum-corrected supersymmetry transformation and hence strongly suggests that the uniqueness property would persist to all orders in perturbation theory.
