Using parafermionic field theoretical methods, the fundamentals of 2d fractional supersymmetry ${\bf Q}^{K} =P$ are set up. Known difficulties induced by methods based on the $U_{q}(sl(2))$ quantum group representations and non commutative…
We consider the problem of creating locally supersymmetric theories in signature (10,2). The most natural algebraic starting point is the F-algebra, which is the de Sitter-type (10,2) extension of the super-Poincare algebra. We derive the…
We construct a locally supersymmetric action for the scalar particle, and study its relation with the usual reparametrization invariant action. The mechanisms at work are similar to those employed in the embedding of the bosonic string into…
We provide the geometric actions for most general N=1 supergravity in two spacetime dimensions. Our construction implies an extension to arbitrary N. This provides a supersymmetrization of any generalized dilaton gravity theory or of any…
