Why aren't the right handed Weyl spinors included?
Why does the Kähler Potential only contain left handed Weyl spinors?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the exclusion of right-handed Weyl spinors from the Kähler Potential in the context of chiral superfields. It emphasizes that the Kähler Potential is formulated to incorporate only left-handed Weyl spinors, which are essential for maintaining supersymmetry in certain theoretical frameworks. The reference to the seminar by Daniel provides further insights into the implications of this exclusion within the broader scope of effective field theories.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Kähler Potential in supersymmetry
- Familiarity with Weyl spinors and their chirality
- Knowledge of chiral superfields in quantum field theory
- Basic principles of effective field theories
- Study the role of Kähler Potential in supersymmetric models
- Explore the implications of chirality in quantum field theories
- Investigate the properties of chiral superfields in detail
- Review the seminar materials from Daniel on effective field theories
The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, particularly those specializing in supersymmetry, quantum field theory, and particle physics. It is also relevant for researchers exploring the mathematical foundations of chiral superfields.
