Classification of maximal transitive prolongations of super-Poincar\'e algebras
Abstract
Let be a complex vector space with a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form and an irreducible module over the Clifford algebra determined by this form. A supertranslation algebra is a -graded Lie superalgebra , where and is the direct sum of an arbitrary number of copies of , whose bracket is symmetric, -equivariant and non-degenerate (that is the condition "" implies ). We consider the maximal transitive prolongations in the sense of Tanaka of supertranslation algebras. We prove that they are finite-dimensional for and classify them in terms of super-Poincar\'e algebras and appropriate -gradings of simple Lie superalgebras.
