Generalized Conformal and Superconformal Group Actions and Jordan Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the “conformal groups” of Jordan algebras along the lines suggested by Kantor. They provide a natural generalization of the concept of conformal transformations that leave 2-angles invariant to spaces where “p-angles” (p ≥ 2) can be defined. We give an oscillator realization of the generalized conformal groups of Jordan algebras and Jordan triple systems. A complete list of the generalized conformal algebras of simple Jordan algebras and hermitian Jordan triple systems is given. These results are then extended to Jordan superalgebras and super Jordan triple systems. By going to a coordinate representation of the (super)oscillators one then obtains the differential operators representing the action of these generalized (super) conformal groups on the corresponding (super) spaces. The superconformal algebras of the Jordan superalgebras in Kac’s classification is also presented.

Left derivable or Jordan left derivable mappings on Banach algebras
Let $mathcal{A}$ be a unital Banach algebra, $mathcal{M}$ be a left $mathcal{A}$-module, and $W$ in $mathcal{Z}(mathcal{A})$ be a left separating point of $mathcal{M}$. We show that if $mathcal{M}$ is a unital left $mathcal{A}$-module and $delta$ is a linear mapping from $mathcal{A}$ into $mathcal{M}$, then the following four conditions are equivalent: (i) $delta$ is a Jordan left de...

We study the symmetries of generalized spacetimes and corresponding phase spaces defined by Jordan algebras of degree three. The generic Jordan family of formally real Jordan algebras of degree three describe extensions of the Minkowskian spacetimes by an extra ”dilatonic” coordinate, whose rotation, Lorentz and conformal groups are SO(d−1), SO(d−1, 1)×SO(1, 1) and SO(d, 2)×SO(2, 1), respective...
متن کاملAlgebraic structures on quasi - primary states in superconformal algebras
The algebraic structure on the subspace of the quasi-primary vectors given by the projection of the (n) products of a conformal superalgebra is formulated. As an application the complete list of simple physical conformal superalgebras is given. The list contains a one-parameter family of superconformal algebras with 4 supercharges that is simple for general values.
متن کاملDualities and the Unitary Representations of Non - compact Groups and Supergroups : Wigner versus Dirac
I review the relationship between AdS/CFT ( anti-de Sitter / conformal field theory) dualities and the general theory of positive energy unitary representations of non-compact space-time groups and supergroups. I show , in particular, how one can go from the manifestly unitary compact basis of the lowest weight ( positive energy) representations of the conformal group ( Wigner picture) to the m...
