We give some supersymmetric wave solutions, both chiral (selfdual) and nonchiral, to interacting supersymmetric theories in four dimensions.
The chiral symmetry of QCD requires energy-dependent pionic strong interactions at low energies. This constraint, however, is not fulfilled by the usual Breit--Wigner parameterization of pionic resonances, leading to masses larger than the…
