Fractional Superspace Formulation of Generalized Mechanics

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

Supersymmetric (pseudo-classical) mechanics has recently been generalized to {\it fractional}\/ supersymmetric mechanics. In such a construction, the action is invariant under fractional supersymmetry transformations, which are the FthF^{\,\rm th} roots of time translations (with F=1,2,...F=1,2,...). Associated with these symmetries, there are conserved charges with fractional canonical dimension 1+1/F1+1/F. Using \pg\ variables satisfying \tF=0\t^F=0, we present a fractional-superspace formulation of this construction.
