Superbranes and Super Born-Infeld Theories from Nonlinear Realizations

چکیده
We describe, on a few instructive examples, a systematic way of deducing the superfield equations of motion of superbranes in the approach of partial breaking of global supersymmetry (PBGS) from the nonlinear-realizations formalism. For D-branes these equations simultaneously represent the appropriate supersymmetric Born-Infeld theories. We also discuss how to construct an off-shell superfield action for the N = 2, d = 4 Dirac-Born-Infeld theory corresponding to the partial supersymmetry breaking N = 4 → N = 2 in d = 4.

Superbranes and Super Born-Infeld Theories as Nonlinear Realizations
We outline, on a few instructive examples, the characteristic features of the approach to superbranes and super Born-Infeld theories based on the concept of partial spontaneous breaking of global supersymmetry (PBGS). The examples include the N = 1,D = 4 supermembrane and the “space-filling” D2and D3-branes. Besides giving a short account of the available results for these systems, we present s...
متن کاملSuperworldvolume dynamics of superbranes from nonlinear realizations
Based on the concept of the partial breaking of global supersymmetry (PBGS), we derive the worldvolume superfield equations of motion for N = 1, D = 4 supermembrane, as well as for the space-time filling D2and D3-branes, from nonlinear realizations of the corresponding supersymmetries. We argue that it is of no need to take care of the relevant automorphism groups when being interested in the d...
متن کاملTowards Higher-n Superextensions of Born-infeld Theory
The main source of current interest in superextensions of the Born-Infeld (or Dirac-Born-Infeld) action is the fact that these super BI actions constitute an essential part of the worldvolume actions of Dp-branes (see [1] and refs. therein). It is tempting to formulate super BI actions in a manifestly supersymmetric way using an off-shell superfield approach. In this approach the worldvolume SU...
متن کاملBrane dynamics from nonlinear realizations
The action for a non-BPS p=2 brane embedded in a flat N=1, D=4 target superspace is obtained through the method of nonlinear realizations of the associated super-Poincaré symmetries. The brane excitation modes correspond to the NambuGoldstone degrees of freedom resulting from the broken space translational symmetry and the target space supersymmetries. The action for this p=2 brane is found to ...
متن کاملTopological Born-Infeld Actions and D-Branes
We propose that the effective field theories of certain wrapped D-branes are given by topological actions based on Born-Infeld theory. In particular, we present a Born-Infeld version of the Abelian Donaldson-Witten theory. We then consider wrapping D3 branes on calibrated submanifolds and for the Calabi-Yau four-fold case, discuss how the resulting theory could give rise to a Born-Infeld versio...
