Abstract

We provide some examples of Killing superalgebras on 2-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds within the theoretical framework established in [SIGMA 21 (2025), 081, 61 pages, arXiv:2409.11306]. We compute the Spencer cohomology group H2,2(s;s)\mathsf{H}^{2,2}(\mathfrak{s}_-;\mathfrak{s}) and filtered deformations of the non-chiral flat model (Euclidean and Poincar\'e) superalgebra s\mathfrak{s} for various Dirac currents and show these arise as Killing superalgebras for (imaginary) geometric Killing and skew-Killing spinors in both Riemannian and Lorentzian signature.
