I am indebted to Yusuke Taniguchi for helpful discussions at various stages of the present work and to Michael G. Endres for a careful reading of the manuscript and useful comments. This work was initiated during the CERN Theory Institute, “Future directions in lattice gauge theory—LGT10”. I would like to thank the workshop organizers, especially, Poul H. Damgaard and Martin Lüscher, for their kind hospitality. My thanks also goes to Ting-Wai Chiu for the hospitality extended to me at the Center for Theoretical Sciences, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., where the latter part of this work was carried out.

N2 - In the context of the lattice regularization of the four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (4D N=1 SYM), we formulate a generalized BRS transformation that treats the gauge, supersymmetry (SUSY), translation and axial U(1) (U(1) A) transformations in a unified way. A resultant Slavnov-Taylor identity or the Zinn-Justin equation gives rise to a strong constraint on the quantum continuum limit of symmetry breaking terms with the lattice regularization. By analyzing the implications of the constraint on operator-mixing coefficients in the SUSY and the U(1) A Ward-Takahashi (WT) identities, we prove to all orders of perturbation theory in the continuum limit that, (i) the chiral symmetric limit implies the supersymmetric limit and, (ii) a three-fermion operator that might potentially give rise to an exotic breaking of the SUSY WT identity does not emerge. In previous literature, only a naive or incomplete treatment on these points can be found. Our results provide a solid theoretical basis for lattice formulations of the 4D N=1 SYM.
