Origin of Soft Limits from Nonlinear Supersymmetry in Volkov-Akulov Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-04-05 v3

Abstract

We apply the background field technique, recently developed for a general class of nonlinear symmetries, at tree level, to the Volkov-Akulov theory with spontaneously broken N=1 supersymmetry. We find that the background field expansion in terms of the free fields to the lowest order reproduces the nonlinear supersymmetry transformation rules. The double soft limit of the background field is, in agreement with the new general identities, defined by the algebra of the nonlinear symmetries.
