Partial breaking of image supersymmetry and of gauge symmetry in the image gauge model Original Research Article

We explore vacua of the image gauge model with image supersymmetry recently constructed in . In addition to the vacuum previously found with unbroken image gauge symmetry in which image supersymmetry is partially broken to image, we find cases in which the gauge symmetry is broken to a product gauge group image. The image vacua are selected by the requirement of a positive definite Kähler metric. We obtain the masses of the supermultiplets appearing on the image vacua.
