AdS$_3$ solutions with exceptional supersymmetry
2018
Among the possible superalgebras that contain the AdS$_3$ isometries, two interesting possibilities are the exceptional $F(4)$ and $G(3)$. Their R-symmetry is respectively SO(7) and $G_2$, and the amount of supersymmetry ${\cal N}=8$ and ${\cal N}=7$. We find that there exist two (locally) unique solutions in type IIA supergravity that realize these superalgebras, and we provide their analytic expressions. In both cases, the internal space is obtained by a round six-sphere fibred over an interval, with an O8-plane at one end. The R-symmetry is the symmetry group of the sphere; in the $G(3)$ case, it is broken to $G_2$ by fluxes. We also find several numerical ${\cal N}=1$ solutions with $G_…
Supersymmetry currents and WZ-like terms in (supersymmetry)2 models
1990
Abstract Using the superfield formulation of the N = 1 spinning superparticle model as an example, the superfield currents associated with the target space supersymmetry are given, and the component expression of the corresponding superalgebra is found to describe a graded “doubling” of the Poincare superalgebra. Further, it is shown how the torsion-like term in the spinning super-particle model can be obtained from the form associated with the Green-Schwarz WZ term for the superstring, and a possible way of introducing extended spinning supersymmetric objects is discussed.
NONCOMMUTATIVE GEOMETRY AND GRADED ALGEBRAS IN ELECTROWEAK INTERACTIONS
1992
The Standard Model of Electroweak Interactions can be described by a generalized Yang-Mills field incorporating both the usual gauge bosons and the Higgs fields. The graded derivative by means of which the Yang-Mills field strength is constructed involves both a differential acting on space-time and a differential acting on an associative graded algebra of matrices. The square of the curvature for the corresponding covariant derivative yields the bosonic Lagrangian of the Standard Model. We show how to recover the whole fermionic part of the Standard Model in this framework. Quarks and leptons fit naturally into the smallest typical and nontypical irreducible representations of the graded …

Superinvolutions on upper-triangular matrix algebras
2018
Let UTn(F) be the algebra of n×n upper-triangular matrices over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero. In [18], the authors described all abelian G-gradings on UTn(F) by showing that any G-grading on this algebra is an elementary grading. In this paper, we shall consider the algebra UTn(F) endowed with an elementary Z2-grading. In this way, it has a structure of superalgebra and our goal is to completely describe the superinvolutions which can be defined on it. To this end, we shall prove that the superinvolutions and the graded involutions (i.e., involutions preserving the grading) on UTn(F) are strictly related through the so-called superautomorphisms of this algebra. We …
Relative cohomology spaces for some osp($n|2$)-modules
2018
International audience; In this work, we describe the H-invariant, so(n)-relative cohomology of a natural class of osp(n|2)-modules M, for n ≠ 2. The Lie superalgebra osp(n|2) can be realized as a superalgebra of vector fields on the superline R1|n. This yields canonical actions on spaces of densities and differential operators on the superline. The above result gives the zero, first, and second cohomology spaces for these modules of densities and differential operators.
Singular quadratic Lie superalgebras
2012
In this paper, we give a generalization of results in \cite{PU07} and \cite{DPU10} by applying the tools of graded Lie algebras to quadratic Lie superalgebras. In this way, we obtain a numerical invariant of quadratic Lie superalgebras and a classification of singular quadratic Lie superalgebras, i.e. those with a nonzero invariant. Finally, we study a class of quadratic Lie superalgebras obtained by the method of generalized double extensions.
THE AMITSUR–LEVITZKI THEOREM FOR THE ORTHOSYMPLECTIC LIE SUPERALGEBRA osp(1, 2n)
2006
http://www.worldscinet.com/jaa/05/0503/S0219498806001740.html; International audience; Based on Kostant's cohomological interpretation of the Amitsur–Levitzki theorem, we prove a super version of this theorem for the Lie superalgebras osp(1, 2n). We conjecture that no other classical Lie superalgebra can satisfy an Amitsur–Levitzki type super identity. We show several (super) identities for the standard super polynomials. Finally, a combinatorial conjecture on the standard skew supersymmetric polynomials is stated.
Jeu de taquin and diamond cone for Lie (super)algebras
2015
Abstract In this paper, we recall combinatorial basis for shape and reduced shape algebras of the Lie algebras gl ( n ) , sp ( 2 n ) and so ( 2 n + 1 ) . They are given by semistandard and quasistandard tableaux. Then we generalize these constructions to the case of the Lie superalgebra spo ( 2 n , 2 m + 1 ) . The main tool is an extension of Schutzenberger's jeu de taquin to these algebras.
