Hard-soft renormalization of the massless Wess-Zumino model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We show that in a Wilsonian renormalization scheme with zero-momentum subtraction point the massless Wess-Zumino model satisfies the non-renormalization theorem; the finite renormalization of the superpotential appearing in the usual non-zero momentum subtraction schemes is thus avoided. We give an exact expression of the beta and gamma functions in terms of the Wilsonian effective action; we prove the expected relation β=3gγ\beta = 3g\gamma. We compute the beta function at the first two loops, finding agreement with previous results.
