Gauging Conformal Algebras with Relations between the Generators

چکیده
We investigate the gauging of conformal algebras with relations between the generators. We treat the W 5/2 –algebra as a specific example. We show that the gauge-algebra is in general reducible with an infinite number of stages. We show how to construct the BV-extended action, and hence the classical BRST charge. An important conclusion is that this can always be done in terms of the generators of the W –algebra only, that is, independent of the realisation. The present treatment is still purely classical, but already enables us to learn more about reducible gauge algebras and the BV-formalism.

Composition-Diamond lemma for associative n-conformal algebras
In this paper, we study the concept of associative n-conformal algebra over a field of characteristic 0 and establish Composition-Diamond lemma for a free associative n-conformal algebra. As an application, we construct Gröbner-Shirshov bases for Lie n-conformal algebras presented by generators and defining relations.
متن کاملUniversally defined representations of Lie conformal superalgebras
We distinguish a class of irreducible finite representations of conformal Lie (super)algebras. These representations (called universally defined) are the simplest ones from the computational point of view: a universally defined representation of a conformal Lie (super)algebra L is completely determined by commutation relations of L and by the requirement of associative locality of generators. W...
متن کاملThe emergence of the Virasoro and w∞ algebras through the renormalized powers of quantum white noise
We introduce a new renormalization for the powers of the Dirac delta function. We show that this new renormalization leads to a second quantized version of the Virasoro sector w∞ of the extended conformal algebra with infinite symmetries W∞ of Conformal Field Theory ( [4]-[7], [11], [13], [14]). In particular we construct a white noise (boson) representation of the w∞ generators and commutation...
متن کاملOSp(4|2) Superconformal Mechanics
A new superconformal mechanics with OSp(4|2) symmetry is obtained by gauging the U(1) isometry of a superfield model. It is the one-particle case of the new N=4 super Calogero model recently proposed in arXiv:0812.4276 [hep-th]. Classical and quantum generators of the osp(4|2) superalgebra are constructed on physical states. As opposed to other realizations of N=4 superconformal algebras, all s...

We consider supersymmetry algebras in space-times with arbitrary signature and minimal number of spinor generators. The interrelation between super Poincaré and super conformal algebras is elucidated. Minimal super conformal algebras are seen to have as bosonic part a classical semimisimple algebra naturally associated to the spin group. This algebra, the Spin(s, t) algebra, depends both on the...
