Supersymmetric geometry in non-supersymmetric effective field theory

Abstract

We develop a geometric framework for non-supersymmetric effective gauge theories based on their nonlinear supersymmetrizations. We construct supersymmetric embeddings for most operators up to dimension six from constrained chiral and vector superfields, and formulate vector bundles using the superfields to systematically organize the operators under field redefinitions in the gauge sector. This formalism manifests a complex geometry underlying gauge operators and accommodates redefinitions across different spins.
