String theory origin of constrained multiplets

Abstract: We study the non-linearly realized spontaneously broken supersymmetry of the (anti-)D3-brane action in type IIB string theory. The worldvolume fields are one vector

A_{m} u

, three complex scalars

p h i^{i}

and four 4d fermions

l a m b d a^{0}

,

l a m b d a^{i}

. These transform, in addition to the more familiar N=4 linear supersymmetry, also under 16 spontaneously broken, non-linearly realized supersymmetries. We argue that the worldvolume fields can be packaged into the following constrained 4d non-linear N=1 multiplets: four chiral multiplets

S

,

Y^{i}

that satisfy

S^{2} = S Y^{i} = 0

and contain the worldvolume fermions

l a m b d a^{0}

and

l a m b d a^{i}

; and four chiral multiplets

W_{a} l p h a

,

H^{i}

that satisfy

S W_{a} l p h a = 0

and

and contain the vector

A_{m} u

and the scalars

p h i^{i}

. We also discuss how placing an anti-D3-brane on top of intersecting O7-planes can lead to an orthogonal multiplet

P h i

that satisfies

, which is particularly interesting for inflationary cosmology.
