A bosonic operator of U_q(osp(1|2)) that anticommutes with the fermionic generators appears to be useful to describe the relations in the centre of U_q(osp(1|2)) for q a root of unity (in the unrestricted specialisation). As in the…
We introduce the most general quartic Poisson algebra generated by a second and a fourth order integral of motion of a 2D superintegrable classical system. We obtain the corresponding quartic (associative) algebra for the quantum analog and…
We study some algebraic properties of the 'vector supersymmetry' (VSUSY) algebra, a graded extension of the four-dimensional Poincare' algebra with two odd generators, a vector and a scalar, and two central charges. The anticommutator…
We study a longstanding problem of identification of the fermion-monopole symmetries. We show that the integrals of motion of the system generate a nonlinear classical Z_2-graded Poisson, or quantum super- algebra, which may be treated as a…
We explicitly constructed the generators of $SU(n+1)$ group which commute with the supercharges of N=4 supersymmetric $\mathbb{CP}^n$ mechanics in the background U(n) gauge fields. The corresponding Hamiltonian can be represented as a…
Casimir operators -- the generators of the center of the enveloping algebra -- are described for simple or close to them ``classical'' finite dimensional Lie superalgebras with nondegenerate symmetric even bilinear form in Sergeev A., The…
For each positive integer $n$, the basic classical complex Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ has a unique equivalence class of infinite-dimensional completely-pointed modules, those weight modules with one-dimensional weight spaces.…
In this paper, we define generalized Casimir operators for a loop contragredient Lie superalgebra and prove that they commute with the underlying Lie superalgebra. These operators have applications in the decomposition of tensor product…
A new superconformal mechanics with OSp(4|2) symmetry is obtained by gauging the U(1) isometry of a superfield model. It is the one-particle case of the new N=4 super Calogero model recently proposed in arXiv:0812.4276 [hep-th]. Classical…
We show that the construction of super-Calogero model with OSp(2|2) supersymmetry is not unique. In particular, we find a new co-ordinate representation of the generators of the OSp(2|2) superalgebra that appears as the dynamical…
A linear odd Poisson bracket realized solely in terms of Grassmann variables is suggested. It is revealed that with the bracket, corresponding to a semi-simple Lie group, both a Grassmann-odd Casimir function and invariant (with respect to…
We analyze the decomposition of the enveloping algebra of the conformal algebra in arbitrary dimension with respect to the mass-squared operator. It emerges that the subalgebra that commutes with the mass-squared is generated by its…
A 2-toroidal Lie superalgebra is constructed using bosonic fields and a ghost field. The superalgebra contains $osp(1|2n)^{(1)}$ as a distinguished subalgebra and behaves similarly to the toroidal Lie superalgebra of type $B(0, n)$.…
In the present paper we constructed the supercharges and Hamiltonians for all variants of superconformal mechanics associated with the superalgebras $osp(8|2), {\mathfrak F(4)}, osp(4^\star |4)$, and $su(1,1|4)$. The fermionic and bosonic…
In this paper, an explicit expression for the Casimir operator (or the Casimir invariant) of the inhomogeneous group ISL(n,R) in its enveloping algebra is proposed, which using contractions of the tenso- rial indices of the generating…
The nonlocal bosonic theory obtained from integrating out all anticommuting and auxiliary variables in a globally supersymmetric theory is characterized by the Nicolai map. The latter is generated by a coupling flow functional differential…
We construct a new supermatrix model which represents a manifestly supersymmetric noncommutative regularisation of the $UOSp(2\vert 1)$ supersymmetric Schwinger model on the supersphere. Our construction is much simpler than those already…
We show that a Hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras having bosonic simple roots (such as $OSp(1|4)$) ``does'' produce supersymmetric Toda models, with superconformal symmetry being nonlinearly realised for those fields of the…
All finite dimensional irreducible representations of the simple Lie-Kac super algebra SU(2/1) are explicitly constructed in the Chevalley basis as complex matrices. For typical representations, the distinguished Dynkin label is not…
We construct a ``pseudo-supersymmetric" fermionic extension of the effective action of the bosonic string in arbitrary spacetime dimension D. The theory is invariant under pseudo-supersymmetry transformations up to the quadratic fermion…
