Abstract

The effects of boundary conditions of fields for compactified space directions on supersymmetric gauge theories are discussed. For general and possible boundary conditions supersymmetry is explicitly broken to yield universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms, and the gauge symmetry of the theory can also be broken through the dynamics of nonintegrable phases, depending on the number and the representation under the gauge group of matter. Four-dimensional supersymmetric QCD is studied as a toy model when one of the space coordinates is compactified on ${S}^{1}.$
