Can Chern-Simons or Rarita-Schwinger be a Volkov-Akulov Goldstone?
Abstract:
We will discuss properties of 3d non-linear models of vector and
vector-spinor Goldstone fields associated with spontaneous breaking of
certain higher-spin counterparts of supersymmetry (so-called Hietarinta
algebras) whose Lagrangians are of a Volkov-Akulov type. At the quadratic
order these Lagrangians contain, respectively, the Chern-Simons and the
Rarita-Schwinger terms.
