We present a symbolic method for organizing the representation theory of one-dimensional superalgebras. This relies on special objects, which we have called adinkra symbols, which supply tangible geometric forms to the still-emerging…

An Adinkra is a graph from the study of supersymmetry in particle physics, but it can be adapted to study Clifford algebra representations. The graph in this context is called a Cliffordinkra, and puts some standard ideas in Clifford…

We create an algorithm to determine whether any two graphical representations (adinkras) of equations possessing the property of supersymmetry in one or two dimensions are isomorphic in shape. The algorithm is based on the determinant of…
