Boundary Conditions in the Mirabelli and Peskin Model.
Year: 2005
Type: preprint
Abstract: : We derive natural boundary conditions for the Mirabelli and Peskin model as follow from the variational principle. They are a better alternative to the commonly assumed “odd = 0 ” boundary conditions. The natural boundary conditions form a closed orbit under supersymmetry variation. We show how the model can be presented in the boundary (as opposed to the orbifold) picture and demonstrate that the necessary Gibbons-Hawking-like terms arise naturally in the superfield formulation. We emphasize that the action is supersymmetric without the use of any boundary conditions in the off-shell formulation (but some boundary conditions are necessary for on-shell supersymmetry!).
