N=1 supersymmetry algebra in 1+1 dimensions

N=1 supersymmetry algebra in 1+1 dimensions

In 1+1 dimensionsthe N=1 supersymmetry algebra (also known as mathcal{N}=(1,1) because we have one left-moving SUSY generator and one right moving one) has the following generators:

:supersymmetric charges: Q, ar{Q}:supersymmetric central charge: Z,:time translation generator: H,:space translation generator: P,:boost generator: N,:fermionic parity: Gamma,:unit element: I,

The following relations are satisfied by thegenerators:

:egin{align}& { Gamma,Gamma } =2I && { Gamma, Q } =0 && { Gamma, ar{Q} } =0\&{ Q,ar{Q} }=2Z && { Q, Q }=2(H+P) && { ar{Q}, ar{Q} } =2(H-P) \& [N,Q] =frac{1}{2} Q && [N,ar{Q} ] =-frac{1}{2} ar{Q} && [N,Gamma] =0 \& [N,H+P] =H+P && [N,H-P] =-(H-P) &&end{align}

Z, is a central element.

The supersymmetry algebra admits a mathbb{Z}_2-grading. The generators H, P, N, Z, I, are even (degree 0), the generators Q, ar{Q}, Gamma, are odd (degree 1).

2(H-P) gives the left-moving momentum and 2(H+P) the right-moving momentum.

Basic representations of this algebra are the vacuum, kink andboson-fermion representations, which are relevant e.g. to thesupersymmetric (quantum) sine-Gordon model.
