Conformal and Superconformal Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the conformal and superconformal properties of a non-relativistic spinning particle propagating in a curved background coupled to a magnetic field and with a scalar potential. We derive the conditions on the couplings for a large class of such systems which are necessary in order their actions admit conformal and superconformal symmetry. We find that some of these conditions can be encoded in the conformal and holomorphic geometry of the background. Several new examples of conformal and superconformal models are also given.

Superconformal Quantum Mechanics via Wigner-Heisenberg Algebra
We show the natural relation between the Wigner Hamiltonian and the conformal Hamiltonian. It is presented a model in (super)conformal quantum mechanics with (super)conformal symmetry in the Wigner-Heisenberg algebra picture [x, px] = i(1 + cP) (P being the parity operator). In this context, the energy spectrum, the Casimir operator, creation and annihilation operators are defined. This superco...
متن کاملSuperconformal Quantum Mechanics from M2-branes
We discuss the superconformal quantum mechanics arising from the M2-branes. We begin with a comprehensive review on the superconformal quantum mechanics and emphasize that conformal symmetry and supersymmetry in quantum mechanics contain a number of exotic and enlightening properties which do not occur in higher dimensional field theories. We see that superfield and superspace formalism is avai...

متن کاملSome chiral rings of N=2 discrete superconformal series induced by SL(2) degenerate conformal field theories
By generalizing a fermionic construction, a natural relation is found between SL(2) degenerate conformal field theories and some N = 2 discrete superconformal series. These non-unitary models contain, as a subclass, N = 2 minimal models. The construction permits one to investigate the properties of chiral operators in the N = 2 models. A chiral ring reveals a close connection with underlying qu...
متن کاملN = 4 superconformal mechanics in the pp - wave limit
We constructed the pp-wave limit of N = 4 superconformal mechanics with the off-shell (3,4,1) multiplet. We present the superfield and the component actions which exhibit the interesting property that the interaction parts are completely fixed by the symmetry. We also explicitly demonstrate that the passing to the pp-wave limit can be achieved by keeping at most quadratic nonlinearities in the ...
