Relating Superembeddings and Non-linear Realisations

Abstract

We discuss the relation between the superembedding method for deriving worldvolume actions for D-branes and the method of Partially Broken Global Supersymmetry based upon linear and non-linear realisations of SUSY. We give the explicit relation for the cases of space filling branes in 3 and 4 dimensions and show that the standard F-constraint of the superembedding method is the source of the required covariant non-linear constraints for the PBGS method.Comment: 19 pages.
