Description

We point out that generally the low-energy spectrum in supersymmetric technicolor models contains quasi-Goldstone fermions and quasi-Goldstone bosons in addition to the usual (pseudo)-Goldstone bosons. Using the language of Kaehler geometry, we present a step-by-step procedure for constructing gauge-invariant non-linear lagrangians involving the fermionic and bosonic Goldstone particles in situations in which the supersymmetry is preserved. Both the cases of fully gauged and partially gauged global symmetries are considered. We discuss the dynamical version of the super-Higgs mechanism, and we illustrate it with the supersymmetric Susskind-Weinberg technicolor model. (orig.)
