Supersymmetric QCD and noncommutative geometry

Broek, Thijs van den, van Suijlekom, Walter D.

Understand

We derive supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics from a noncommutative manifold, using the spectral action principle of Chamseddine and Connes.

  • After a review of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system in noncommutative geometry, we establish in full detail that it possesses supersymmetry.
  • This noncommutative model is then extended to give a theory of quarks, squarks, gluons and gluinos by constructing a suitable noncommutative spin manifold (i.e.
  • a spectral triple).
