Abstract

We introduce N=1 supersymmetric generalization of the mechanical system describing a particle with fractional spin in D=1+2 dimensions and being classically equivalent to the formulation based on the Dirac monopole two-form. The model introduced possesses hidden invariance under N=2 Poincar\'e supergroup with a central charge saturating the BPS bound. At the classical level the model admits a Hamiltonian formulation with two first class constraints on the phase space T(R1,2)×L11T^*(R^{1,2})\times {\cal L}^{1|1}, where the K\"ahler supermanifold L11OSp(22)/U(11){\cal L}^{1|1}\cong OSp(2|2)/U(1|1) is a minimal superextension of the Lobachevsky plane. The model is quantized by combining the geometric quantization on L11{\cal L}^{1|1} and the Dirac quantization with respect to the first class constraints. The constructed quantum theory describes a supersymmetric doublet of fractional spin particles. The space of quantum superparticle states with a fixed momentum is embedded into the Fock space of a deformed harmonic oscillator.
