چکیده

We consider the quantum mechanics of a particle on the coset superspace SU(2|1)/[U(1)×U(1)], which is a super-flag manifold with SU(2)/U(1) ∼= S2 ‘body’. By incorporating the Wess-Zumino terms associated with the U(1) × U(1) stability group, we obtain an exactly solvable super-generalization of the Landau model for a charged particle on the sphere. We solve this model using the factorization method. Remarkably, the physical Hilbert space is finite-dimensional because the number of admissible Landau levels is bounded by a combination of the U(1) charges. The level saturating the bound has a wavefunction in a shortened, degenerate, irrep of SU(2|1).

The super Minkowski and superconformal space times

We define complex super Minkowski space time in 4 dimensions as the big cell inside a complex super flag manifold. The complex superconformal group acts naturally on this super flag, allowing us to interpret it as the conformal compactification of complex super Minkowski space time. We then consider real super Minkowski space time as a suitable real form of the complex version. Our methods are ...

We investigate N = 2 extended superconformal symmetry, using the half-twisted Landau-Ginzburg models. The first example is the D2n+2 -type minimal model. It has been conjectured that this model has a spin n super W current. We checked this by the direct computations of the BRS cohomology class up to n = 4. We observe for n ≤ 3 the super W currents generate the ring isomorphic to the chiral ring...

Exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation by the first integral method

The first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. In this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation.

Supersymmetrizing Landau Models

This is an overview of recent progress in constructing and studying superextensions of the Landau problem of a quantum particle on a plane in the uniform magnetic field, as well as of its Haldane’s S2 generalization (hep-th/0311159, 0404108, 0510019, 0612300). The main attention is paid to the planar super Landau models which are invariant under the inhomogeneous supergroup ISU(1|1), a contract...

Planar Super-Landau Models

In previous papers we solved the Landau problems, indexed by 2M , for a particle on the “superflag” SU(2|1)/[U(1) × U(1)], the M = 0 case being equivalent to the Landau problem for a particle on the “supersphere” SU(2|1)/[U(1|1)]. Here we solve these models in the planar limit. For M = 0 we have a particle on the complex superplane C; its Hilbert space is the tensor product of that of the Landa...
