Singular dimensions of the N = 2 superconformal algebras II : the twisted N = 2 algebra
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a suitable adapted ordering for the twisted N = 2 superconformal algebra (i.e. with mixed boundary conditions for the fermionic fields). We show that the ordering kernels for complete Verma modules have two elements and the ordering kernels for G-closed Verma modules just one. Therefore, spaces of singular vectors may be two-dimensional for complete Verma modules whilst for G-closed Verma modules they can only be onedimensional. We give all singular vectors for the levels 1 2 , 1, and 3 2 for both complete Verma modules and G-closed Verma modules. We also give explicit examples of degenerate cases with two-dimensional singular vector spaces in complete Verma modules. General expressions are conjectured for the relevant terms of all (primitive) singular vectors, i.e. for the coefficients with respect to the ordering kernel. These expressions allow to identify all degenerate cases as well as all G-closed singular vectors. They also lead to the discovery of subsingular vectors for the twisted N = 2 superconformal algebra. Explicit examples of these subsingular vectors are given for the levels 1 2 , 1, and 3 2 . Finally, the multiplication rules for singular vector operators are derived using the ordering kernel coefficients. This sets the basis for the analysis of the twisted N = 2 embedding diagrams.

Superconformal current algebras and topological field theories
Topological conformal field theories based on superconformal current algebras are constructed. The models thus obtained are the supersymmetric version of the G/G coset theories. Their topological conformal algebra is generated by operators of dimensions 1, 2 and 3 and can be regarded as an extension of the twisted N = 2 superconformal algebra. These models possess an extended supersymmetry whos...
متن کاملThe Adapted Ordering Method for Lie Algebras and Superalgebras and their Generalizations
In 1998 the Adapted Ordering Method was developed for the representation theory of the superconformal algebras in two dimensions. It allows: to determine maximal dimensions for a given type of space of singular vectors, to identify all singular vectors by only a few coefficients, to spot subsingular vectors and to set the basis for constructing embedding diagrams. In this article we present the...
متن کاملConstruction Formulae for Singular Vectors of the Topological and of the Ramond N=2 Superconformal Algebras
We write down one-to-one mappings between the singular vectors of the Neveu-Schwarz N=2 superconformal algebra and 16 + 16 types of singular vectors of the Topological and of the Ramond N=2 superconformal algebras. As a result one obtains construction formulae for the latter using the construction formulae for the Neveu-Schwarz singular vectors due to Dörrzapf. The indecomposable singular vecto...
متن کاملThe Adapted Ordering Method in Representation Theory
In 1998 the Adapted Ordering Method was developed for the representation theory of the superconformal algebras. This method, which proves to be very powerful, can be applied to most algebras and superalgebras, however. It allows: to determine maximal dimensions for a given type of singular vector space, to identify all singular vectors by only a few coefficients, to spot subsingular vectors and...
متن کاملA New N = 4 Superconformal Algebra
It is shown that the previously known N = 3 and N = 4 superconformal algebras can be contracted consistently by singular scaling of some of the generators. For the later case, by a contraction which depends on the central term, we obtain a new N = 4 superconformal algebra which contains an SU(2)×U(1) Kac-Moody subalgebra and has nonzero central extension.
