The coupling of Non-linear Supersymmetry to Supergravity

arXiv:1508.06767 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3783-0

Abstract

We study the coupling of non-linear supersymmetry to supergravity. The goldstino nilpotent superfield of global supersymmetry coupled to supergravity is described by a geometric action of the chiral curvature superfield R subject to the constraint (R-λ)^2=0 with an appropriate constant λ. This constraint can be found as the decoupling limit of the scalar partner of the goldstino in a class of f(R) supergravity theories.
