The Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is a classic theory for the strong dynamics of composite fields and symmetry breaking. Supersymmetric versions of the NJL-type models are certainly of interest too. Particularly, the case with a composite (Higgs) chiral superfield formed by two (quark) chiral superfields has received much attention. Here, we propose a prototype model with a four-chiral-superfield interaction, giving a real superfield composite. It has a spin-one composite vector field with properties being somewhat similar to a massive gauge boson of spontaneously broken gauge symmetry. As such, it is like the first supersymmetric analog to non-supersymmetric models with spin-one composites. The key formulation developed here is the picture of quantum effective action as a superfield functional with parameters like constant superfields, having explicit supersymmetric and Grassmann number dependent supersymmetry breaking parts. Following the standard non-perturbative analysis for NJL-type models, the gap equation analysis shows plausible signature of dynamical supersymmetry breaking which is worth more serious analysis. With an extra superfield model Lagrangian included, comparison between the models and their non-supersymmetric counterparts is discussed, illustrating the notion of supersymmetrization is nontrivial in the setting.

Supersymmetry is undoubtedly a popular candidate for physics beyond the Standard Model. However, the origin of soft supersymmetry breaking masses has been usually depicted intricately in the literature via extra hidden/mediating sectors. Thus, a simple theory for the generation of the soft masses would be more compelling. Here we discuss a possible approach to dynamical supersymmetry breaking via Nambu-Jona- Lasinio (NJL) Model, which has been missed since the first investigation of supersymmetric NJL model. We introduce a four-superfield interaction term that induces a real two-superfield composite with vacuum condensate. The latter has supersymmetry breaking parts, which we show to bear nontrivial solutions following a standard nonperturbative analysis for a NJL type model. The presence of the expected Goldstino state along with the supersymmetry breaking, is also verified. Moreover, the model gives rise to a composite spin one field, as its important characteristic.

This is a sequel to our earlier paper presenting a supersymmetric Nambu–Jona–Lasinio (NJL)-type model for a real superfield composite. The model in the simplest version has only a chiral superfield (multiplet), with a strong four-superfield interaction in the Kähler potential that induces a real two-superfield composite with vacuum condensate. The latter can have supersymmetry breaking parts, which we have shown to bear nontrivial solutions under a standard nonperturbative analysis for a Nambu–Jona–Lasinio-type model on a superfield setting. In this article, we generalize our earlier analysis by allowing a supersymmetric mass term for the chiral superfield, as well as possible θ2 components for the soft supersymmetry breaking part of the condensate. We present admissible nontrivial vacuum solutions and an analysis of the resulted low energy effective theory with components of the composite becoming dynamical. The determinant of the fermionic modes is shown to be zero, illustrating the presence of the expected Goldstino.

Under a few mild assumptions, [Formula: see text] supersymmetry (SUSY) in four dimensions is shown to be spontaneously broken in a metastable vacuum in a self-consistent Hartree–Fock approximation of Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer/Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (BCS/NJL) type to the leading order, in the gauge theory specified by the gauge kinetic function and the superpotential of adjoint chiral superfields, in particular, that possess [Formula: see text] extended SUSY spontaneously broken to [Formula: see text] at tree level. We derive an explicit form of the gap equation, showing the existence of a nontrivial solution. The [Formula: see text] gauginos in the observable sector receive mixed Majorana–Dirac masses and are split due to both the nonvanishing 〈D0〉 and 〈F0〉 induced with 〈D0〉. It is argued that proper physical applications and assessment of the range of the validity of our framework are made possible by rendering the approximation into [Formula: see text] expansion.

Abstract We propose a new construction of the supergravity inflation as an UV completion of the Higgs-R2 inflation. In the dual description of R2-supergravity, we show that there appear dual chiral superfields containing the scalaron or sigma field in the Starobinsky inflation, which unitarizes the supersymmetric Higgs inflation with a large non-minimal coupling up to the Planck scale. We find that a successful slow-roll inflation is achievable in the Higgs-sigma field space, but under the condition that higher curvature terms are introduced to cure the tachyonic mass problems for spectator singlet scalar fields. We also discuss supersymmetry breaking and its transmission to the visible sector as a result of the couplings of the dual chiral superfields and the non-minimal gravity coupling of the Higgs fields.

The special role of the isoscalar mesons (σ and ω) in the NJL soliton is discussed. Stable soliton solutions are obtained when the most general ansatz compatible with vanishing grand spin is assumed. These solutions are compared to soliton solutions of a purely pseudoscalar Skyrme type model which is related to the NJL model by a gradient expansion and the limit of infinitely heavy (axial-) vector mesons.

In contrast to the folklore that Technicolor (TC) is a "Higgsless theory", we shall discuss existence of a composite Higgs boson, Techni-Dilaton (TD), a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of the scale invariance in the Scale-invariant/Walking/Conformal TC (SWC TC) which generates a large anomalous dimension γm ≃ 1 in a wide region from the dynamical mass [Formula: see text] of the techni-fermion all the way up to the intrinsic scale ΛTC of the SWC TC (analogue of ΛQCD), where ΛTC is taken typically as the scale of the Extended TC scale Λ ETC : Λ TC ≃ Λ ETC ~ 103 TeV (≫ m). All the techni-hadrons have mass on the same order [Formula: see text], which in SWC TC is extremely smaller than the intrinsic scale Λ TC ≃ Λ ETC , in sharp contrast to QCD where both are of the same order. The mass of TD arises from the non-perturbative scale anomaly associated with the techni-fermion mass generation and is typically 500-600 GeV, even smaller than other techni-hadrons of the same order of [Formula: see text], in another contrast to QCD which is believed to have no scalar [Formula: see text] bound state lighter than other hadrons. We discuss the TD mass in various methods, Gauged NJL model via ladder Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation, straightforward calculations in the ladder SD/ Bethe-Salpeter equation, and the holographic approach including techni-gluon condensate. The TD may be discovered in LHC.

We study supergravity inflationary models where inflation is produced along the angular direction. For this we express the scalar component of a chiral superfield in terms of the radial and the angular components. We then express the supergravity potential in a form particularly simple for calculations involving polynomial expressions for the superpotential and Kähler potential. We show for a simple Polonyi model the angular direction may give rise to a stage of inflation when the radial field is fixed to its minimum. We obtain analytical expressions for all the relevant inflationary quantities and discuss the possibility of supersymmetry breaking in the radial direction while inflating by the angular component.

The implications of supersymmetry and chiral Ward identities in supersymmetric gauge theories are explored using current algebra methods, and a critical assessment is made of the relative merits of the current algebra and effective Lagrangian approaches. Using the Ward identities directly, simple derivations are given of several important properties of the condensates in supersymmetric QCD, and of the generalized Dashen formulae. The corrections to these results in the presence of explicit, soft supersymmetry breaking are calculated. A concise formula is presented for the mass splittings within pseudo Goldstone multiplets induced by soft supersymmetry breaking terms. It is shown that if this supersymmetry breaking is the θ=0 component of a chiral superfield, the supertrace of the pseudo Goldstone masses vanishes. Using current algebra reduction formulae, the pseudo Goldstone masses are calculated in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and supersymmetric QCD for NF<NC and NF=NC. Some differences are found between the current algebra and effective Lagrangian predictions, and their possible origins are discussed.

We review developments in top condensation starting from the first example which was a simple effective Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. The connection between the underlying four-fermion interaction and the structure of the composite Higgs sector is generalized to obtain the scalar sectors of a number of Standard Model extensions dynamically from some NJL model, as well as to include possible radial and spin excitations of the Higgs sector. In all these NJL models the symmetries do not forbid further higher dimensional four-fermion operators. If such operators could have arbitrary strength then this would result in arbitrary Higgs and top mass predictions. The nonrenormalizable NJL model is however thought to be only an effective description of some fully consistent theory where higher dimensional operators are not free parameters so that the corresponding four-fermion operators are restricted. We discuss renormalizable gauge theories of top condensation where this is the case. These models are therefore predictive and do not lead to arbitrary predictions.

We discuss a new mechanism of D-term dynamical supersymmetry breaking in the context of Dirac gaugino scenario. The existence of a nontrivial solution of the gap equation for D-term is shown. It is also shown that an observed 126 GeV Higgs mass is realized by tree level D-term effects in a broad range of parameters.
