Finiteness of the triple gauge-ghost vertices in ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories: the two-loop verification

By an explicit calculation we demonstrate that the triple gauge-ghost vertices in a general renormalizable ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory are UV finite in the two-loop approximation. For this purpose we calculate the two-loop divergent contribution to the $\bar c^+ V c$-vertex proportional to $(C_2)^2$ and use the finiteness of the two-loop contribution proportional to $C_2 T(R)$ which has been checked earlier. The theory under consideration is regularized by higher covariant derivatives and quantized in a manifestly ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric way with the help of ${\cal N}=1$ superspace. The two-loop finiteness of the vertices with one external line of the quantum gauge superfield and two external lines of the Faddeev--Popov ghosts has been verified for a general $ξ$-gauge. This result agrees with the nonrenormalization theorem proved earlier in all orders, which is an important step for the all-loop derivation of the exact NSVZ $β$-function.

Finiteness of the two-loop matter contribution to the triple gauge-ghost vertices in ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories regularized by higher derivatives

For a general renormalizable ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory with a simple gauge group we verify the ultraviolet (UV) finiteness of the two-loop matter contribution to the triple gauge-ghost vertices. These vertices have one leg of the quantum gauge superfield and two legs corresponding to the Faddeev--Popov ghost and antighost. By an explicit calculation made with the help of the higher covariant derivative regularization we demonstrate that the sum of the corresponding two-loop supergraphs containing a matter loop is not UV divergent in the case of using a general $ξ$-gauge. In the considered approximation this result confirms the recently proved theorem that the triple gauge-ghost vertices are UV finite in all orders, which is an important ingredient of the all-loop perturbative derivation of the Novikov-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov relation.
