Abstract

A finite theory may be defined as one with vanishing beta functions. By using renormalization-group methods and taking advantage of the non-renormalization theorems we find the conditions on the physical parameters required by imposing finiteness on a general softly broken gauge theory. The finiteness of the supersymmetric parameters is automatic once the Yukawas are; the soft-breaking parameters require for their finiteness that they be related to the supersymmetric ones through the gaugino mass. The latter is finite only if the gauge coupling is made finite.
