Classical N = 1 and N = 2 super W - algebras from a zero - curvature condition
نویسنده
چکیده
Starting from superdifferential operators in an N = 1 superfield formulation, we present a systematic prescription for the derivation of classical N = 1 and N = 2 super Walgebras by imposing a zero-curvature condition on the connection of the corresponding first order system. We illustrate the procedure on the first non-trivial example (beyond the N = 1 superconformal algebra) and also comment on the relation with the Gelfand-Dickey construction of W -algebras. § Unité de recherche URA 1501 du CNRS.

We construct higher-spin N=1 super algebras as extensions of the super Virasoro algebra containing generators for all spins s ≥ 3/2. We find two distinct classical (Poisson) algebras on the phase super space. Our results indicate that only one of them can be consistently quantized.
متن کاملN = 2 W-supergravity
We quantise the classical gauge theory of N = 2 w ∞-supergravity and show how the underlying N = 2 super-w ∞ algebra gets deformed into an N = 2 super-W ∞ algebra. Both algebras contain the N = 2 super-Virasoro algebra as a subalgebra. We discuss how one can extract from these results information about quantum N = 2 W N-supergravity theories containing a finite number of higher-spin symmetries ...
متن کاملExact Solutions of Berkovits’ String Field Theory
The equation of motion for Berkovits’ WZW-like open (super)string field theory is shown to be integrable in the sense that it can be written as the compatibility condition (“zero-curvature condition”) of some linear equations. Employing a generalization of solution-generating techniques (the splitting and the dressing methods), we demonstrate how to construct nonperturbative classical configura...
متن کاملNHCU-HEP-94-13 Classical N=2 W-superalgebras From Superpseudodifferential Operators
We study the supersymmetric Gelfand-Dickey algebras associated with the superpseu-dodifferential operators of positive as well as negative leading order. We show that, upon the usual constraint, these algebras contain the N=2 super Virasoro algebra as a subal-gebra when the leading order is odd. The decompositions of the coefficient functions into N=1 primary fields are then obtained by covaria...
متن کاملHamiltonian Reduction and Classical Extended Superconformal Algebras
We present a systematic construction of classical extended superconformal algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of a class of affine Lie superalgebras, which include an even subalgebra sl(2). In particular, we obtain the doubly extended N = 4 superconformal algebra Ãγ from the hamiltonian reduction of the exceptional Lie superalgebra D(2|1; γ/(1− γ)). We also find the Miura transformation for...
