Partial breaking of globalD=4supersymmetry, constrained superfields, and 3-brane actions

Abstract: We show that the connection between partial breaking of supersymmetry and nonlinear actions is not accidental and has to do with constraints that lead directly to nonlinear actions of the Born-Infeld type. We develop a constrained superfield approach that gives a universal way of deriving and using these actions. In particular, we find the manifestly supersymmetric form of the action of the 3-brane in 6-dimensional space in terms of Nϭ1 superfields by using the tensor multiplet as a tool. We explain the relati… Show more

“…The N = 1 supersymmetric completion of the Born-Infeld action [2,3] has the further remarkable property of being the Goldstone action for N = 2 Supersymmetry partially broken to N = 1 [4][5][6][7][8]. Alternatively, this action is seen to arise from an N = 2 twoderivative action, quadratic in the Maxwell field strength, where half of the N = 2 vector multiplet, i.e.…”

“…The supersymmetric Born-Infeld action inherits the property of its bosonic counterpart, in that it is self-dual in Superspace [6,7,[13][14][15][16]. It is the aim of this paper to explore the mass generation mechanism induced in these non-linear theories by some additional geometric couplings that are connected to the Stueckelberg mass generation for p-form gauge fields.…”
