Notes on Superconformal Representations in Two Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-10-12 v2

Abstract

We study global subalgebras of superconformal algebras in two dimensions and their unitary representations. Global superconformal multiplets are decomposed into conformal multiplets using Racah-Speiser algorithm, revealing many essential aspects of superconformal theories such as stress-energy tensor, conserved current, supersymmetric deformation and supersymmetry enhancement. Character formulae for the representations are presented. We further find a collection of conserved charges that are kk-forms under the R-symmetry, which must be part of the super Virasoro algebra with N3\mathcal{N} \geq 3 supersymmetries.
