Nonlinear supersymmetry as a hidden symmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-08-23 v3

Abstract

Nonlinear supersymmetry is characterized by supercharges to be higher order in bosonic momenta of a system, and thus has a nature of a hidden symmetry. We review some aspects of nonlinear supersymmetry and related to it exotic supersymmetry and nonlinear superconformal symmetry. Examples of reflectionless, finite-gap and perfectly invisible PT-symmetric zero-gap systems, as well as rational deformations of the quantum harmonic oscillator and conformal mechanics, are considered, in which such symmetries are realized.
