The purpose of this paper is to generalize Zhu’s theorem about characters of modules over a vertex operator algebra graded by integer conformal weights, to the setting of a vertex operator superalgebra graded by rational conformal weights. To recover ${SL_2(\mathbb{Z})}$ S L 2 ( Z ) -invariance of the characters it turns out to be necessary to consider twisted modules alongside ordinary ones. It also turns out to be necessary, in describing the space of conformal blocks in the supersymmetric case, to include certain ‘odd traces’ on modules alongside traces and supertraces. We prove that the set of supertrace functions, thus supplemented, spans a finite dimensional ${SL_2(\mathbb{Z})}$ S L 2 ( Z ) -invariant space. We close the paper with several examples. 相似文献

We give function space realizations of all representations of the conformal superalgebra su(2,2/N) and of the supergroup SU(2, 2 /N) induced from irreducible finite-dimensional Lorentz and SU(N) representations realized without spin and isospin indices. We use the lowest weight module structure of our su(2,2/N) representations to present a general procedure (adapted from the semisimple Lie algebra case) for the canonical construction of invariant differential operators closely related to the reducible (indecomposable) representations. All conformal supercovariant derivatives are obtained in this way. Examples of higher order invariant differential operators are given. 相似文献

N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories with global flavor symmetries contain a gauge invariant W-superalgebra which acts on its moduli space of gauge invariants. With adjoint matter, this superalgebra reduces to a graded Lie algebra. When the gauge group is SO(nc), with vector matter, it is a W-algebra, and the primary invariants form one of its representation. The same superalgebra exists in the dual theory, but its construction in terms of the dual fields suggests that duality may be understood in terms of a charge conjugation within the algebra. We extend the analysis to the gauge group E6. 相似文献

The superconformal algebra for 4/4N-dimensional super-Minkowski space (d=4) can be identified with the simple superalgebra su (2,2/N). For even-dimension d=5,6 the superconformal algebra can be identified with a real form of the simple superalgebras F(4), D(4,1) respectively in Kac's classification. For even-dimension d>-7 it is impossible to define a superconformal algebra satisfying three natural conditions: (1) it acts as infinitesimal automorphisms on super-Minkowski space; (2) this action extends the natural action of the super-Poincaré algebra; (3) when the action of the even part of the superconformal algebra is reduced to an infinitesimal action on ordinary Minkowski space, it extends the natural action of the conformal algebra so (2, d). 相似文献

It is shown that the N = 4 superalgebra of the Dirac theory in Taub-NUT space has different unitary representations related among themselves through unitary U(2) transformations. In particular the SU(2) transformations are generated by the spin-like operators constructed with the help of the same covariantly constant Killing-Yano tensors which generate Dirac-type operators. A parity operator is defined and some explicit transformations which connect the Dirac-type operators among themselves are given. These transformations form a discrete group which is a realization of the quaternion discrete group. The fifth Dirac operator constructed using the non-covariant constant Killing-Yano tensor of the Taub-NUT space is quite special. This non-standard Dirac operator is connected with the hidden symmetry and is not equivalent to the Dirac-type operators of the standard N = 4 supersymmetry. 相似文献

We consider supersymmetry algebras in space–times with arbitrary signature and minimal number of spinor generators. The interrelation between super Poincaré and super conformal algebras is elucidated. Minimal super conformal algebras are seen to have as bosonic part a classical semisimple algebra naturally associated to the spin group. This algebra, the Spin(s,t)-algebra, depends both on the dimension and on the signature of space–time. We also consider maximal super conformal algebras, which are classified by the orthosymplectic algebras. 相似文献

The hermitean oscillator-like realizations of classical algebras in terms of bosonic and fermionic creation and annihilation operators are given. The hermitean realizations of classical superalgebras using boson-fermion oscillators are explicitely described. The assumption of positive definite metric in a Hilbert space of the oscillators states is exploited. Due to this fact, the realizations of superalgebras in the Hilbert space can be constructed only for: the real orthosymplectic superalgebra osp (N; 2M; R); the unitary compact superalgebra su (N; M); the unitary noncompact one SU(N; K, M); and the quaternionic unitary superalgebra uuα(N; M; H). 相似文献

We consider the interplay of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras of Virasoro type and moduli spaces of curves, suggested by string theory. We will see that the infinitesimal geometry of determinant bundles is governed by Virasoro symmetries. The Mumford forms are just invariants of these symmetries. The representations of Virasoro algebra define (twisted)D-modules on moduli spaces; theseD-modules are equations on correlators in conformal field theory.To the memory of Vadik Knizhnik (20. 2. 1962–25. 12. 1987) 相似文献

We introduce the notion of a non–linear Lie conformal superalgebra and prove a PBW theorem for its universal enveloping vertex algebra. We also show that conversely any graded freely generated vertex algebra is the universal enveloping algebra of a unique, up to isomorphism, non–linear Lie conformal superalgebra. This correspondence will be applied in the subsequent work to the problem of classification of finitely generated simple graded vertex algebras.Acknowledgement. We would like to thank M. Artin, B.

We have studied the different symmetric properties of the generalized Maxwell’s–Dirac equation along with their quantum properties.
Applying the parity (℘), time reversal (
T\mathcal{T}
), charge conjugation (C\mathcal{C}) and their combined effect like parity time reversal (PT\mathcal{PT}), charge conjugation and parity (CP\mathcal{CP}) and CPT\mathcal{CP}T transformations to various equations of generalized fields of dyons, it is shown that the corresponding dynamical quantities
and equations of dyons are invariant under these discrete symmetries. 相似文献

The superalgebra eigenstates (SAES) concept is introduced and then applied to find SAES associated to the sh(2/2) superalgebra, also known as Heisenberg–Weyl Lie superalgebra. This implies to solve a Grassmannian eigenvalue superequation. Thus, the sh(2/2) SAES contain the class of supercoherent states associated to the supersymmetric harmonic oscillator and also a class of supersqueezed states associated to the osp(2/2)Ð sh(2/2) superalgebra, where osp(2/2) denotes the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra generated by the set of operators formed from the quadratic products of the Heisenberg–Weyl Lie superalgebra generators. The properties of these states are investigated and compared with those of the states obtained by applying the group-theoretical technics. Moreover, new classes of generalized supercoherent and supersqueezed states are also obtained. As an application, the super-Hermitian and -pseudo-super-Hermitian Hamiltonians without a defined Grassmann parity and isospectral to the harmonic oscillator are constructed. Their eigenstates and associated supercoherent states are calculated. 相似文献

The modular structure of the von Neumann algebra of local observables associated with a double cone in the vacuum representation of the free massless scalar field theory of any number of dimensions is described. The modular automorphism group is induced by the unitary implementation of a family of generalized fractional linear transformations on Minkowski space and is a subgroup of the conformal group. The modular conjugation operator is the anti-unitary implementation of a product of time reversal and relativistic ray inversion. The group generated by the modular conjugation operators for the local algebras associated with the family of double cone regions is the group of proper conformal transformations. A theorem is presented asserting the unitary equivalence of local algebras associated with lightcones, double cones, and wedge regions. For the double cone algebras, this provides an explicit realization of spacelike duality and establishes the known typeIII
1 factor property. It is shown that the timelike duality property of the lightcone algebras does not hold for the double cone algebras. A different definition of the von Neumann algebras associated with a region is introduced which agrees with the standard one for a lightcone or a double cone region but which allows the timelike duality property for the double cone algebras. In the case of one spatial dimension, the standard local algebras associated with the double cone regions satisfy both spacelike and timelike duality.Supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. PHY-79-23251Supported in part by C.

In this paper we construct a newN = 6 superconformal algebra which extends the Virasoro algebra by theSO
6 current algebra, by 6 odd primary fields of conformal weight 3/2 and by 10 odd primary fields of conformal weight 1/2. The
commutation relations of this algebra, which we will refer to asCK
6, are represented by short distance operator product expansions (OPE). We constructCK
6, as a subalgebra of theSO(6) superconformal algebra K6, thus giving it a natural representation as first order differential operators on the circle withN = 6 extended symmetry. We show thatCK
6 has no nontrivial central extensions.

We present supersymmetric, curved space, quantum mechanical models based on deformations of a parabolic subalgebra of osp(2p+2|Q). The dynamics are governed by a spinning particle action whose internal coordinates are Lorentz vectors labeled by the fundamental
representation of osp(2p|Q). The states of the theory are tensors or spinor-tensors on the curved background while conserved charges correspond to the
various differential geometry operators acting on these. The Hamiltonian generalizes Lichnerowicz’s wave/Laplace operator.
It is central, and the models are supersymmetric whenever the background is a symmetric space, although there is an osp(2p|Q) superalgebra for any curved background. The lowest purely bosonic example (2p, Q) = (2, 0) corresponds to a deformed Jacobi group and describes Lichnerowicz’s original algebra of constant curvature, differential
geometric operators acting on symmetric tensors. The case (2p, Q) = (0, 1) is simply the superparticle whose supercharge amounts to the Dirac operator acting on spinors. The (2p, Q) = (0, 2) model is the supersymmetric quantum mechanics corresponding to differential forms. (This latter pair of models are supersymmetric on any
Riemannian background.) When Q is odd, the models apply to spinor-tensors. The (2p, Q) = (2, 1) model is distinguished by admitting a central Lichnerowicz-Dirac operator when the background is constant curvature.
The new supersymmetric models are novel in that the Hamiltonian is not just a square of super charges, but rather a sum of
commutators of supercharges and commutators of bosonic charges. These models and superalgebras are a very useful tool for
any study involving high rank tensors and spinors on manifolds.

The Dirac–Dunkl operator on the two-sphere associated to the \({{\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{3}}}\) reflection group is considered. Its symmetries are found and are shown to generate the Bannai–Ito algebra. Representations of the Bannai–Ito algebra are constructed using ladder operators. Eigenfunctions of the spherical Dirac–Dunkl operator are obtained using a Cauchy–Kovalevskaia extension theorem. These eigenfunctions, which correspond to Dunkl monogenics, are seen to support finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Bannai–Ito algebra. 相似文献

Higher-order symmetries corresponding to Killing tensors are investigated. The intimate relation between Killing-Yano tensors
and nonstandard supersymmetries is pointed out. In the Dirac theory on curved spaces, Killing-Yano tensors generate Dirac-type
operators involved in interesting algebraic structures as dynamical algebras or even infinite dimensional algebras or superalgebras.
The general results are applied to space-times which appear in modern studies. One presents the infinite dimensional superalgebra
of Dirac type operators on the 4-dimensional Euclidean Taub-NUT space that can be seen as a twisted loop algebra. The existence
of the conformal Killing-Yano tensors is investigated for some spaces with mixed 3-Sasakian structures. 相似文献

The inclusion of BRST generators into the Poincarè group in D dimensions is known to lead IOsp[D,2|2]. Similarly, conformal symmetry gets extended into Osp[D×1,3|2]. For the non-relativistic case we find that the Galilei symmetry gets extended, by inclusion of the BRST generators, into an orthosymplectic symmetry possessing Osp[D,1|2] as a subgroup. All such extensions express the possibility of formulating the classical theories in reparametrization invariant ways. They include besides the generators of the initial kinematical symmetry (Poincarè, or conformal, or Galilei), the generators of Parisi-Sourlas transformations. The extended symmetries follow directly through BRST quantization. 相似文献
