Supersymmetric lattices - a brief introduction
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, new theoretical ideas have allowed the construction of lattice actions which are explicitly invariant under one or more supersymmetries. These theories are local and free of doublers and in the case of Yang-Mills theories also possess exact gauge invariance. In this talk these ideas are reviewed with particular emphasis being placed on N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

I give a brief introduction to particle interactions based on representations of Poincare Lie algebra. This is later generalized to interactions based on representations of the supersymmetry Lie algebra. Globally supersymmetric models with internal symmetry and locally supersymmetric models leading to supergravity theories are presented. I also discuss higher dimensional supergravity theories a...
متن کاملLattices and Codes (a brief introduction)
The goal here to is to introduce irreducible root systems, and through them try to classify certain lattices. As we’ve seen, lattices are just about the best thing there is in number theory (maybe), since it’s easy to pop out a modular form from a lattice under the right circumstances. Luckily, we’ll be working in those very circumstances! To get there, we’re going to have to define what a code...
متن کاملGeneralized complex geometry and supersymmetric non - linear sigma models
After an elementary presentation of the relation between supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models and geometry, I focus on 2D and the target space geometry allowed when there is an extra supersymmetry. This leads to a brief introduction to generalized complex geometry, a notion introduced recently by Hitchin which interpolates between complex and symplectic manifolds. Finally I present worldsheet ...

متن کاملTwisted Supersymmetric Gauge Theories and Orbifold Lattices
We examine the relation between twisted versions of the extended supersymmetric gauge theories and supersymmetric orbifold lattices. In particular, for the N = 4 SYM in d = 4, we show that the continuum limit of orbifold lattice reproduces the twist introduced by Marcus, and the examples at lower dimensions are usually Blau-Thompson type. The orbifold lattice point group symmetry is a subgroup ...
