Drinfeld-Twisted Supersymmetry and Non-Anticommutative Superspace

چکیده
We extend the analysis of hep-th/0408069 on a Lorentz invariant interpretation of noncommutative spacetime to field theories on non-anticommutative superspace with half the supersymmetries broken. By defining a Drinfeld-twisted Hopf superalgebra, it is shown that one can restore twisted supersymmetry and therefore obtain a twisted version of the chiral rings along with certain Ward-Takahashi identities. Moreover, we argue that the representation content of theories on the deformed superspace is identical to that of their undeformed cousins and comment on the consequences of our analysis concerning non-renormalization theorems. PACS: 11.10.Nx, 11.30.Pb, 12.60.Jv

Twisted Supersymmetry, Fermion-Boson Mixing and Removal of UV-IR Mixing
Exact supersymmetry can be maintained on non-anticommutative superspace with a twisted coproduct on the supergroup.We show that the usual exchange statistics for the superfields is not compatible with the twisted action of the superpoincaré group and find a statistics which is consistent with the twisted coproduct and imply interesting phenomena such as mixing of fermions and bosons under parti...
متن کاملNon - anticommutative N = 2 super - Yang - Mills theory with singlet deformation
We consider a non-anticommutative N = 2 superspace with an SU(2) singlet and Lorentz scalar deformation parameter, {θ αi , θ βj } ⋆ = −2iP ǫ αβ ǫ ij. We exploit this unique feature of the N = 2 case to construct a deformation of the rank-one super-Yang-Mills theory which preserves the full N = 2 supersymmetry together with the SU(2) R symmetry and Lorentz invariance. The resulting action descri...
متن کاملNoncommutative and Non-Anticommutative Quantum Field Theory
A noncommutative and non-anticommutative quantum field theory is formulated in a superspace, in which the superspace coordinates satisfy noncommutative and non-anticommutative relations. A perturbative scalar field theory is investigated in which only the non-anticommutative algebraic structure is kept, and one loop diagrams are calculated and found to be finite due to the damping caused by a G...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Sigma-Models with Twisted Supersymmetry
We investigate the relation between supersymmetry and geometry for two dimensional sigma models with target spaces of arbitrary signature, and Lorentzian or Euclidean world-sheets. In particular, we consider twisted forms of the two-dimensional (p, q) supersymmetry algebra. Superspace formulations of the (p, q) heterotic sigma-models with twisted or untwisted supersymmetry are given. For the tw...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Drinfeld - Sokolov reduction
The Drinfeld-Sokolov construction of integrable hierarchies, as well as its generalizations, may be extended to the case of loop superalge-bras. A sufficient condition on the algebraic data for the resulting hierarchy to be invariant under supersymmetry transformation is given. The method used is a construction of the hierarchies in superspace, where supersymmetry is manifest. Several examples ...
