It is shown that supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in certain three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories, by using the s-rule in their string theory realization as brane configurations. In particular, supersymmetry is broken in N=3…

Twisted and orbifold formulations of lattice ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory which possess an exact supersymmetry require a $U(N)=SU(N)\otimes U(1)$ gauge group. In the naive continuum limit, the $U(1)$ modes trivially decouple and…
We propose a discretization of two dimensional Euclidean Yang-Mills theories with N=2 supersymmetry which preserves exactly both gauge invariance and an element of supersymmetry. The approach starts from the twisted form of the continuum…

We study spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in N=2 globally supersymmetric theories describing a system of abelian vector multiplets. We find that the most general form of the action admits, in addition to the usual Fayet-Iliopoulos term, a…
Using a simple observation based on holomorphy, we argue that any model which spontaneously breaks supersymmetry for some range of a parameter will do so generically for all values of that parameter, modulo some isolated exceptional points.…
We propose a method to measure the Witten index using lattice simulation. A requirement for the lattice model is that it has at least one exact supersymmetry at finite lattice spacing. We prove the validity of the method in case of the…
Spontaneous symmetry-breaking in phase transitions occurs when the system Hamiltonian is symmetric under a certain transformation, but the equilibrium states observed in nature are not. Here, we prove that when a discrete symmetry is…
