Quantization of the ${\rm AdS}_3$ Superparticle on ${\rm OSP}(1|2)^2/{\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$
Abstract
We analyze superparticle dynamics on the coset . The system is quantized in canonical coordinates obtained by gauge invariant Hamiltonian reduction. The left and right Noether charges of a massive particle are parametrized by coadjoint orbits of a timelike element of . Each chiral sector is described by two bosonic and two fermionic canonical coordinates corresponding to a superparticle with superpotential , where is the particle mass. Canonical quantization then provides a quantum realization of . For the massless particle the chiral charges lie on the coadjoint orbit of a nilpotent element of and each of them depends only on one real fermion, which demonstrates the underlying -symmetry. These remaining left and right fermionic variables form a canonical pair and the system is described by four bosonic and two fermionic canonical coordinates. Due to conformal invariance of the massless particle, the extends to the corresponding superconformal algebra . Its 19 charges are given by all real quadratic combinations of the canonical coordinates, which trivializes their quantization.
