Nilpotent chiral superfield

ID: nilpotent-chiral-superfield

For , the nilpotency condition gives and . On the branch with invertible commuting part of , , while the goldstino and auxiliary field are independent. Products of three identical two-component odd spinor entries vanish, verifying the remaining constraints. The scalar is therefore composite. The branch hypothesis matters: also obeys the constraint and need not break supersymmetry.
