Capolupo, Antonio; Di Mauro, Marco; Iorio, Alfredo Mixing-induced spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. (English) Zbl 1252.81096 Phys. Lett., A 375, No. 39, 3415-3418 (2011). Summary: It is conjectured that flavor mixing furnishes a universal mechanism for the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry. The conjecture is proved explicitly for the mixing of two chiral N=1 supermultiplets and arguments for its general validity are given. That is an instance of the O’Raifeartaigh Lagrangian for which there is no tree-level nor perturbative breaking. Nonetheless, the dynamical breaking occurs due to the vacuum condensate, a mixing-induced nonperturbative effect that lifts the zero point energy.
