No Isomorphism between the Affinê Sl(2) Algebra and the N = 2 Superconformal Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
Since 1999 it became obvious that the would be 'isomorphism' between the affinê sl(2) algebra and the N=2 superconformal algebras, proposed by some authors, simply does not work. However, this issue was never properly discussed in the literature and, as a result, some confusion still remains. In this article we finally settle down, clearly and unambiguously, the true facts: there is no isomorphism between the affinê sl(2)

Superconformal Algebras on the Boundary of AdS3
Motivated by recent progress on the correspondence between string theory on anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory, we provide an explicit construction of an infinite dimensional class of superconformal algebras on the boundary of AdS3. These space-time algebras are N extended superconformal algebras of the kind obtainable by hamiltonian reduction of affine SL(2|N/2) current superalgeb...
متن کاملExtended Superconformal Algebras on AdS
We study a supersymmetric extension of the Virasoro algebra on the boundary of the anti-de Sitter space-time AdS3. Using the free field realization of the currents, we show that the world-sheet affine Lie superalgebras osp(1|2)(1), sl(1|2)(1) and sl(2|2)(1) provide the boundary N = 1, 2 and 4 extended superconformal algebras, respectively. The duality between the type IIB string theory on AdS3 ...

متن کاملComments on N = 4 Superconformal Algebras
We present a new and asymmetric N = 4 superconformal algebra for arbitrary central charge, thus completing our recent work on its classical analogue with vanishing central charge. Besides the Virasoro generator and 4 supercurrents, the algebra consists of an internal SL(2) ⊗ U(1) Kac-Moody algebra in addition to two spin 1/2 fermions and a bosonic scalar. The algebra is shown to be invariant un...
متن کاملW-strings from N = 2 Hamiltonian Reduction and Classification of N = 2 Super W-algebras
We present an algebraic approach to string theory, using a Hamiltonian reduction of N = 2 WZW models. An embedding of sl(1|2) in a Lie superalgebra determines a niltopent subalgebra. Chirally gauging this subalgebra in the corresponding WZW action leads to an extension of the N = 2 superconformal algebra. We classify all the embeddings of sl(1|2) into Lie superalgebras: this provides an exhaust...
