 Complex scalar mass at a supersymmetric critical point

For one canonical chiral field at $W^{\prime }(v)=0$, the quadratic scalar potential is $|W^{\prime \prime }(v){|}^2|\delta \phi {|}^2$. Writing $\delta \phi =(a+ib)/\sqrt{2}$ gives two canonically normalized real scalars with squared mass $|W^{\prime \prime }(v){|}^2$. The chiral-superfield fermion mass matrix has the same physical mass. A complex bilinear coefficient or its algebraic square is not itself a signed physical squared mass.
