Single State Supermultiplet in 1+1 Dimensions

چکیده
We discuss the issue of multiplicity of the BPS states in (1+1)-dimensional models with minimal N=1 supersymmetry. The previous argument that the irreducible representation of supersymmetry algebra is one-dimensional in this case is elaborated. Algebraic treatment is illustrated by explicit quasiclassical quantization in various weakly coupled models which present examples of oneand two-dimensional representations. For non-BPS multiplets, which are two-dimensional, one can introduce an operator of the fermion charge which differentiates between two distinct states in the multiplet. This operator is not defined for BPS states.

The Quantum 3D Superparticle
The minimal (N = 1) superparticle in three spacetime dimensions (3D) is quantized. For non-zero mass it describes a spin-1/4 semion supermultiplet of “relativistic helicities” (−1/4, 1/4). The addition of a parity-violating Lorentz–Wess–Zumino term shifts this to (β − 1/4, β + 1/4) for arbitrary β. For zero mass, in which case spin is not defined, the quantum superparticle describes a supermult...

We give best covariant amplitude decompositions for two-body decay processes involving ground state hadrons (0−, 1−, 1 2 + , 3 2 + ) and show how these are simply related to helicity amplitudes. After discussing how electromagnetic interactions are incorporated via meson dominance in a relativistic supermultiplet scheme, we extend the analysis to weak flavour changing nonleptonic processes. Suc...
متن کاملComposite Supersymmetries in low - dimensional systems
Starting from a N = 1 scalar supermultiplet in 2+1 dimensions, we demonstrate explicitly the appearance of induced N = 1 vector and scalar supermultiplets of composite operators made out of the fundamental supersymmetric constituents. We discuss an extension to a N = 2 super-algebra with central extension, due to the existence of topological currents in 2+1 dimensions. As a specific model we co...
متن کاملUnitary Supermultiplets of OSp(1/32,R) and M-theory
We review the oscillator construction of the unitary representations of non-compact groups and supergroups and study the unitary supermultiplets of OSp(1/32, R) in relation to M-theory. OSp(1/32, R) has a singleton super-multiplet consisting of a scalar and a spinor field. Parity invariance leads us to consider OSp(1/32, R) L × OSp(1/32, R) R as the " minimal " generalized AdS supersymmetry alg...
متن کاملCounter-Examples to a Putative Classification of 1-Dimensional, N-extended Supermultiplets
We present a counter-example to a recent claim that supermultiplets of N -extended supersymmetry with no central charge and in 1dimension are specified unambiguously by providing the numbers of component fields in all available engineering dimensions within the supermultiplet.
