Abstract: (Elsevier)
We construct the d =2 Wess-Zumino model and the d =4 N =2 supersymmetric gauge theory on the lattice, in the hamiltonian formalism. The models have the correct tree level continuum limit. Using the Kähler-Dirac formalism, we show that on the lattice a full cubic symmetry is preserved. A strong coupling calculation shows the possibility of spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry for the d =2 model.
