Effective Lagrangians in Pseudo-Supersymmetry

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/808695· OSTI ID:808695

The author discusses effective field theories of brane-world models where different sectors break different halves of the extended bulk supersymmetry. It is shown how to consistently couple N = 2 supersymmetric matter to N = 1 superfields that lack N = 2 partners but transform in a non-linear representation of the N = 2 algebra. In particular, I explain how to couple an N = 2 vector to N = 1 chiral fields such that the second supersymmetry is non-linearly realized. This method is then used to study systems where different sectors break different halves of supersymmetry, which appear naturally in models of intersecting branes.
