Self - duality in Generalized Lorentz Superspaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend the notion of self-duality to spaces built from a set of representations of the Lorentz group with bosonic or fermionic behaviour, not having the traditional spin-one upper-bound of super Minkowski space. The generalized derivative vector fields on such superspaces are assumed to form a superalgebra. Introducing corresponding gauge potentials and hence covariant derivatives and curvatures, we define generalized self-duality as the Lorentz covariant vanishing of certain irreducible parts of the curvatures.

Lorentz covariance , higher - spin superspaces and self - duality 1
Lorentz covariant generalisations of the notions of supersymmetry, superspace and selfduality are discussed. The essential idea is to extend standard constructions by allowing tangent vectors and coordinates which transform according to more general Lorentz representations than solely the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. Such superspaces provide model configuration spaces for theo...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Lorentz-covariant Hyperspaces and Self-duality Equations in Dimensions Greater than (4|4)
We generalise the notions of supersymmetry and superspace by allowing generators and coordinates transforming according to more general Lorentz representations than the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. This yields novel SO(3,1)-covariant superspaces, which we call hyperspaces, having dimensionality greater than (4|4) of traditional super-Minkowski space. As an application, we cons...
متن کاملLorentz Covariant Spin Two Superspaces
Superalgebras including generators having spins up to two and realisable as tangent vector fields on Lorentz covariant generalised superspaces are considered. The latter have a representation content reminiscent of configuration spaces of (super)gravity theories. The most general canonical supercommutation relations for the corresponding phase space coordinates allowed by Lorentz covariance are...

متن کاملGeometric Modular Action, Wedge Duality and Lorentz Covariance are Equivalent for Generalized Free Fields
The Tomita-Takesaki modular groups and conjugations for the observable algebras of space-like wedges and the vacuum state are computed for translationally covariant, but possibly not Lorentz covariant, generalized free quantum fields in arbitrary space-time dimension d. It is shown that for d ≥ 4 the condition of geometric modular action (CGMA) of Buchholz, Dreyer, Florig and Summers [BDFS], Lo...
