Hamilton-Jacobi Mechanics from Pseudo-Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
For a general mechanical system, it is shown that each solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation defines an N = 2 pseudo-supersymmetric extension of the system, such that the usual relation of the momenta to Hamilton’s principal function is the ‘BPS’ condition for preservation of 1/2 pseudo-supersymmetry. The examples of the relativistic and nonrelativistic particle, in a general potential, are worked through in detail, and used to discuss the relation to cosmology and to supersymmetric quantum mechanics.

Hamilton-Jacobi method for Curved Domain Walls and Cosmologies
We use Hamiltonian methods to study curved domain walls and cosmologies. This leads naturally to first order equations for all domain walls and cosmologies foliated by slices of maximal symmetry. For Minkowski and AdS-sliced domain walls (flat and closed FLRW cosmologies) we recover a recent result concerning their (pseudo)supersymmetry. We show how domain-wall stability is consistent with the ...

متن کاملOn two-dimensional superpotentials: from classical Hamilton-Jacobi theory to 2D supersymmetric quantum mechanics
Abstract Superpotentials in N = 2 supersymmetric classical mechanics are no more than the Hamilton characteristic function of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory for the associated purely bosonic dynamical system. Modulo a global sign, there are several superpotentials ruling Hamilton-Jacobi separable supersymmetric systems, with a number of degrees of freedom greater than one. Here, we explore how supe...
متن کاملSupersymmetry versus Integrability in two-dimensional Classical Mechanics
Supersymmetric extensions of Hamilton-Jacobi separable Liouville mechanical systems with two degrees of freedom are defined. It is shown that supersymmetry can be implemented in this type of systems in two independent ways. The structure of the constants of motion is unveiled and the entanglement between integrability and supersymmetry is explored.
