Supergroup Symmetries and the Hierarchy Problem

We show that the mass of a scalar field transforming in the fundamental of an $SU(N\mathrm{\mid }N+1)$ supergroup internal symmetry is protected against one-loop corrections from quartic, gauge, and yukawa interactions. Although the negative-norm states responsible for this protection are likely fatal to a unitary interpretation of the theory, such ultraviolet insensitivity may open a new avenue to understanding the lightness of the Higgs.
