On the Nonlinear Realization of the Superconformal Symmetry

Abstract

The nonlinear realization of the superconformal symmetry in two dimensions is considered. The superconformal symmetry is realized by means of dimension 1/2-1/2\ Nambu-Goldstone fermion ξ\xi\ and its dimension 3/2 conjugate η\eta. A matter coupling of these Nambu- Goldstone fermions reproduce the realization found by Berkovits and Vafa to show the equivalence between the bosonic string and a N=1N=1\ superstring. This indicates that this equivalence is a result of the super Higgs mechanism as a two dimensional field theory, in which the NG fermions become unphysical.
