Abstract
The action of supersymmetric Born-Infeld theory (D-9-brane in a Lorentz covariant static gauge) has a geometric form of the Volkov-Akulov-type. The first non-linearly realized supersymmetry can be made manifest, the second world-volume supersymmetry is not manifest. We also study the analogous 2 supersymmetries of the quadratic action of the covariantly quantized D-0-brane. We show that the Hamiltonian and the BRST operator are build from these two supersymmetry generators.
