Abstract

We consider the addition of soft breaking terms to the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills lagrangian. N=1 supersymmetric mass terms and mass terms of the form ( A 2− B 2) do not give rise to any new divergence, which implies that in a gauge in which the massless theory is completely finite, this finiteness is preserved. All other soft terms give rise to at most logarithmic divergences.
