SUMMARY

The construction of chiral superfields from vector superfields is feasible, particularly through the use of massive vector superfields, which are combinations of massless vector superfields and massless chiral superfields. A key example is the spinor superfield W_alpha, which serves as the foundation for constructing the kinetic term. This discussion confirms the theoretical basis for such constructions within the framework of supersymmetry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chiral superfields in supersymmetry
  • Familiarity with vector superfields
  • Knowledge of massive vector superfields
  • Basic concepts of N=1 and N=2 supersymmetry
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of massive vector superfields
  • Study the construction of kinetic terms from spinor superfields
  • Explore the implications of N=1 and N=2 supersymmetry
  • Investigate the role of chiral superfields in supersymmetric theories
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, particularly those specializing in supersymmetry, as well as graduate students studying advanced topics in quantum field theory.

Hi,


Is it possible to construct chiral superfield from Vectorsuperfields and/or combinations of vector superfield and some another chiral superfield...


Thanks

You can look for massive vector superfields, which actually are the combination of a massless vector superfield and a massless chiral superfield. And in some sense a N=1 massive is as a N=2 massless.

Sure this is possible, the most important example is the spinor superfield W_alpha out of which the kinetic term is constructed.
