Abstract

In the originally devised form of dimensional regularization [1–4], a theory in D (≡ integer) dimensions is defined as the limit ε→0 of a theory in d ≡ D + 2ε dimensions. The method is incompatible with supersymmetry [5–8], since the algebras for vectors and spinors in a supersymmetric theory depend differently on D, so that supersymmetry is manifestly broken in the method.
