Im just starting to learn about super symmetry and I have a question. If super symmetry says ever boson has a fermion partner and we dint introduce new forces, does that mean in the "super symmetry world" that forces are carried by fermions?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No really. The gauge bosons are still there, to carry the forces as usual.

The are some subtleties in the diagrams, of course. The partnership implies that the supersymmetric particle must be in the same representation of the gauge group that the gauge boson. But as you say, it is a fermion, it can not build a classical force field.

Still, the supermultiplet of a massive gauge vector boson should include one scalar, if susy is unbroken, or midly broken.
 

Thread 'Gravitational self-interaction: another attempt to replace Dark Matter'

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...

Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'

A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...

Thread 'Twistors and celestial holography'

Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
