Spontaneous breakdown of internal symmetry in internal symmetry ⊗ supersymmetry
Abstract
It is shown that the addition of supersymmetry to a (real irreducible, self-coupling) internal symmetry produces a Goldstone potential for the spontaneous breakdown of the internal symmetry along the (discrete) canonical directions, the supersymmetry remaining intact.
