Abstract

I show that the classical Toda models built on superalgebras, and obtained from a reduction with respect to an Sl(2)Sl(2) algebra, are "linearly supersymmetrizable" (by adding spin 1/2 fields) if and only if the Sl(2)Sl(2) is the bosonic part of an OSp(12)OSp(1|2) algebra. In that case, the model is equivalent to the one constructed from a reduction with respect to the OSp(12)OSp(1|2) algebra, up to spin 1/2 fields. The corresponding WW algebras are related through a factorization of spin 1/2 fields (bosons and fermions). I illustrate this factorization on an example: the superconformal algebra built on Sl(n+12)Sl(n+1|2).
