چکیده

Fock module realization for the unitary singleton representations of the d − 1 dimensional conformal algebra o(d − 1, 2), which correspond to the spaces of single-particle states of massless scalar and spinor in d− 1 dimensions, is given. The pattern of the tensor product of a pair of singletons is analyzed in any dimension. It is shown that for d > 3 the tensor product of two boson singletons decomposes into a sum of all integer spin totally symmetric massless representations in AdSd, the tensor product of boson and fermion singletons gives a sum of all half-integer spin symmetric massless representations in AdSd, and the tensor product of two fermion singletons in d > 4 gives rise to massless fields of mixed symmetry types inAdSd depicted by Young tableaux with one row and one column together with certain totally antisymmetric massive fields. In the special case of o(2, 2), tensor products of 2d massless scalar and/or spinor modules contain infinite sets of 2d massless conformal fields of different spins. The obtained results extend the 4d result of Flato and Fronsdal [1] to any dimension and provide a nontrivial consistency check for the recently proposed higher spin model in AdSd [2]. We define a class of higher spin superalgebras which act on the supersingleton and higher spin states in any dimension. For the cases of AdS3, AdS4, and AdS5 the isomorphisms with the higher spin superalgebras defined earlier in terms of spinor generating elements are established.

Universal Central Extension of Current Superalgebras

Representation as well as central extension are two of the most important concepts in the theory of Lie (super)algebras. Apart from the interest of mathematicians, the attention of physicist are also drawn to these two subjects because of the significant amount of their applications in Physics. In fact for physicists, the study of projective representations of Lie (super)algebras  are very impo...

On generalized reduced representations of restricted Lie superalgebras in prime characteristic

Let $mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>2$ and $(g, [p])$ a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over $mathbb{F}$. It is showed that anyfinite-dimensional indecomposable $g$-module is a module for a finite-dimensional quotient of the universal enveloping superalgebra of $g$. These quotient superalgebras are called the generalized reduced enveloping ...

Considerations on Super Poincaré Algebras and their Extensions to Simple Superalgebras

We consider simple superalgebras which are a supersymmetric extension of the spin algebra in the cases where the number of odd generators does not exceed 64. All of them contain a super Poincaré algebra as a contraction and another as a subalgebra. Because of the contraction property, some of these algebras can be interpreted as de Sitter or anti de Sitter superalgebras. However, the number of ...

Superalgebras, Their Quantum Deformations and the Induced Representation Method

Some introductory concepts and basic definitions of the Lie superalgebras and their quantum deformations are exposed. Especially the induced representation methods in both cases are described. Based on the Kac representation theory we have succeeded in constructing representations of several higher rank superalgebras. When representations of quantum superalgebras are concerned, we have develope...

Super coherent states are useful in the explicit construction of representations of superalgebras and quantum superalgebras. In this contribution, we describe how they are used to construct (quantum) boson-fermion realizations and representations of (quantum) superalgebras. We work through a few examples: osp(1|2) and its quantum version Ut[osp(1|2)], osp(2|2) in the non-standard and standard b...
