Linear and Chiral Superfields are Usefully Inequivalent

preprint1999arXivOpen access

Abstract

Chiral superfields have been used, and extensively, almost ever since supersymmetry has been discovered. Complex linear superfields afford an alternate representation of matter, but are widely misbelieved to be 'physically equivalent' to chiral ones. We prove the opposite is true. Curiously, this re-enables a previously thwarted interpretation of the low-energy (super)field limit of superstrings.
