Abstract

It is shown that, in a supersymmetric theory, the sum of all vacuum diagrams vanishes identically as a consequence of compensations among contributions involving different fields of the supermultiplet. This means that the zero-point energy-momentum density is zero to all orders in the supersymmetric interaction. In an external gravitational field no cosmological term is induced through the vacuum polarization of the matter fields. The situation when supersymmetry is spontaneously broken, or softly broken is also discussed.
