Abstract

Gauge symmetry breaking through the Hosotani mechanism (the dynamics of
nonintegrable phases) in softly broken supersymmetric QCD with N_F^fd flavors is
studied. For N = even, there is a single SU(N) symmetric vacuum state, while
for N = odd, there is a doubly degenerate SU(N) symmetric vacuum state in
the model. We also study the generalized supersymmetric QCD by adding N_F^adj
numbers of massless adjoint matter. The gauge symmetry breaking pattern such as
SU(3) → SU(2) × U(1) is possible for appropriate choices of the matter contents
and values of supersymmetry breaking parameter. The massless state of the adjoint
Higgs scalar is also discussed in the models.
