D2-Branes and Supersymmetry Quiz

The effective nonlinear description of Dp-branes is related to the Born-Infeld action.

The nonlinearity in the effective descriptions of Dp-branes is a consequence of the partial N = 2 → N = 1 supersymmetry breaking, originating from the solitonic nature of the branes.

This work focuses on the effective descriptions of D2-branes.
