Structure Constants of the Fractional Supersymmetry Chiral Algebras

چکیده
The fractional supersymmetry chiral algebras, A(K), in two-dimensional conformal field theory are extended Virasoro algebras with fractional spin currents J (K). We show that associativity and closure of A(K) determines its structure constants in the case that the Virasoro algebra is extended by precisely one current. We compute the structure constants of the A(K) algebras explicitly and we show that correlators of J (K)’s satisfy non-Abelian braiding relations. ⋆ [email protected], [email protected] † [email protected], [email protected]

Central charge reduction and spacetime statistics in the fractional superstring.
Fractional superstrings in the tensor-product formulation experience “internal projections” which reduce their effective central charges. Simple expressions for the characters of the resulting effective worldsheet theory are found. All states in the effective theory can be consistently assigned definite spacetime statistics. The projection to the effective theory is shown to be described by the...
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]...
متن کاملFractional Superspace Formulation of Generalized Super-Virasoro Algebras
We present a fractional superspace formulation of the centerless parasuper-Virasoro and fractional super-Virasoro algebras. These are two different generalizations of the ordinary super-Virasoro algebra generated by the infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of the superline. We work on the fractional superline parametrized by t and θ, with t a real coordinate and θ a paragrassmann variable of order M a...
متن کاملOn supersymmetry breaking and the Dijkgraaf-Vafa conjecture
We investigate the Dijkgraaf-Vafa proposal when supersymmetry is broken. We consider U(N) SYM with chiral adjoint matter where the coupling constants in the tree-level superpotential are promoted to chiral spurions. The holomorphic part of the low-energy glueball superpotential can still be analyzed. We compute the holomorphic supersymmetry breaking contributions using methods of the geometry u...
متن کاملOperator Algebra of the SL(2) conformal field theories
Structure constants of Operator Algebras for the SL(2) degenerate conformal field theories are calculated. LANDAU-95-TMP-1 hep-th/9504082 Since the seminal work of Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov [1], there has been much progress in understanding two-dimensional conformal field theories. It is essential to compute the structure constants of Operator Algebra of such theories. In fact, it was...
