51 Summary Although SUSY on the lattice is still quite difficult, there has been much progress in the last decade, thanks to New theoretical ideas (algorithm, formulation,... ) Increases in computing power (dynamical fermion more or less becomes accessible) For lucky cases, we can expect much in the decade ahead! The puzzling situation in 4D N = 1 SYM will be resolved! Can go into Physics (gaugino condensation etc.) Still, for unlucky cases, we need further theoretical ideas... Brute force fine tuning? Manifest SUSY in non-commutative (and non-local) field theory and its commutative limit? (matrix model etc.) Hiroshi Suzuki (RIKEN) Lattice simulation of Sept. RIKEN 26 / 26
