Taking a vector supermultiplet apart: Alternative Fayet–Iliopoulos-type terms
Starting from an Abelian N=1 vector supermultiplet V coupled to conformal supergravity, we construct from it a nilpotent real scalar Goldstino superfield V of the type proposed in arXiv:1702.02423. It contains only two independent component fields, the Goldstino and the auxiliary D-field. The import...
