Theoretical Foundations of Fractional Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
Fractional supersymmetry denotes a generalisation of supersymmetry which may be constructed using a single real generalised Grassmann variable, θ = θ̄, θn = 0, for arbitrary integer n = 2, 3, .... An explicit formula is given in the case of general n for the transformations that leave the theory invariant, and it is shown that these transformations possess interesting group properties. It is shown also that the two generalised derivatives that enter the theory have a geometric interpretation as generators of left and right transformations of the fractional supersymmetry group. Careful attention is paid to some technically important issues, including differentiation, that arise as a result of the peculiar nature of quantities such as θ. 1 On leave of absence from DAMTP, Cambridge University, Silver Street, Cambridge CB3 9EW, UK, and from St. John’s College, Cambridge, UK.

Geometrical foundations of fractional supersymmetry
A deformed q-calculus is developed on the basis of an algebraic structure involving graded brackets. A number operator and left and right shift operators are constructed for this algebra, and the whole structure is related to the e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
متن کاملM and F-theory Instantons, N = 1 Supersymmetry and Fractional Topological Charge
We analize instanton generated superpotentials for three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories obtained by compactifying on S1 N=1 four dimensinal theories. In the Nf = NC − 1 case, we find that the vacua in the decompactification limit is given by the singular points of the Coulomb branch of the N =2 four dimensional theory. The decompactification limit of the superpotential for pure g...
متن کاملA braided interpretation of fractional supersymmetry in higher dimensions
A many variable q-calculus is introduced using the formalism of braided covector algebras. Its properties when certain of its deformation parameters are roots of unity are discussed in detail, and related to fractional supersymmetry. The special cases of two dimensional supersymmetry and fractional supersymmetry are developed in detail. PACS 02.10T, 11.30P, 03.65F. e-mail: [email protected]...
