Double-vector multiplet and partially broken N = 4, d = 3 supersymmetry

verfasst von: E. Ivanov, S. Krivonos, O. Lechtenfeld
Abstract: We elaborate on a new N = 2, d = 3 supermultiplet (double-vector multiplet) with a non-trivial off-shell realization of the central charge. Its bosonic sector comprises two abelian gauge vector fields forming an SO(2) vector. We present a superfield formulation of this multiplet in the central-charge extended N = 2, d = 3 superspace and then employ it, in the framework of the nonlinear realizations approach, as the Goldstone one for the partial breaking N = 4 → N = 2 in three dimensions. The covariant equations of motion for the self-interacting Goldstone superfield arise as a natural generalization of the free ones and are interpreted as the worldvolume supersymmetric form of the equations of motion of a N= 4 D2-brane. For the vector fields we find a coupled nonlinear system of Born-Infeld type and demonstrate its dual equivalence to the d = 5 membrane. The double-vector multiplet can be fused with some extra N = 2, d = 3 multiplet to form an off-shell N = 4, d = 3 supermultiplet. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
