At 1-loop the ultra-violet regulator of the theory generates a contribution to the gaugino mass that is naively inconsistent with unbroken supersymmetry. We show that this effect, known in flat space as anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking, is required to cancel an infra-red contribution arising from the boundary conditions in AdS space, which necessarily break chiral symmetry. We also discuss an analogous UV/IR cancellation that is independent of supersymmetry.Supersymmetric gauge theorySupersymmetric Effective TheoriesAdS-CFTCorrespondenceFIELD-THEORIESSUPERGRAVITYtext::journal::journal article::research article
