Two Dimensional Fractional Supersymmetry from the Quantum Poincare Group at Roots of Unity

A group theoretical understanding of the two dimensional fractional supersymmetry is given in terms of the quantum Poincare group at roots of unity. The fractional supersymmetry algebra and the quantum group dual to it are presented and the pseudo-unitary, irreducible representations of them are obtained. The matrix elements of these representations are explicitly constructed.Comment: 10 pages. Some misprints are corrected. To appear in J. Phys.

Duality invariance of non-anticommutative N=1/2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory

A parent action is introduced to formulate (S-) dual of non-anticommutative N=1\2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory. Partition function for parent action in phase space is utilized to establish the equivalence of partition functions of the theories which this parent action produces. Thus, duality invariance of non-anticommutative N=1\2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory follows. The results which we obtained are valid at tree level or equivalently at the first order in the nonanticommutativity parameter C_{\mu\nu}.Comment: 12 pages, some comments and references are added.

Noncommuting Electric Fields and Algebraic Consistency in Noncommutative Gauge theories

We show that noncommuting electric fields occur naturally in $\theta$-expanded noncommutative gauge theories. Using this noncommutativity, which is field dependent, and a hamiltonian generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten Map, the algebraic consistency in the lagrangian and hamiltonian formulations of these theories, is established. A comparison of results in different descriptions shows that this generalised map acts as canonical transformation in the physical subspace only. Finally, we apply the hamiltonian formulation to derive the gauge symmetries of the action.Comment: 16 pages, LaTex, considerably expanded version with a new section on `Gauge symmetries'; To appear in Phys.

N=1/2 Supersymmetric gauge theory in noncommutative space

A formulation of (non-anticommutative) N=1/2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory in noncommutative space is studied. We show that at one loop UV/IR mixing occurs. A generalization of Seiberg-Witten map to noncommutative and non-anticommutative superspace is employed to obtain an action in terms of commuting fields at first order in the noncommutativity parameter tetha. This leads to abelian and non-abelian gauge theories whose supersymmetry transformations are local and non-local, respectively.Comment: One reference added, published versio

Green Function on the q-Symmetric Space SU_q(2)/U(1)

Following the introduction of the invariant distance on the non-commutative C-algebra of the quantum group SU_q(2), the Green function and the Kernel on the q-homogeneous space M=SU(2)_q/U(1) are derived. A path integration is formulated. Green function for the free massive scalar field on the non-commutative Einstein space R^1xM is presented.Comment: Plain Latex, 19

slq(2)sl_q(2) Realizations for Kepler and Oscillator Potentials and q-Canonical Transformations

The realizations of the Lie algebra corresponding to the dynamical symmetry group SO(2,1) of the Kepler and oscillator potentials are q-deformed. The q-canonical transformation connecting two realizations is given and a general definition for q-canonical transformation is deduced. q-Schr\"{o}dinger equation for a Kepler like potential is obtained from the q-oscillator Schr\"{o}dinger equation. Energy spectrum and the ground state wave function are calculated.Comment: 12 pages, Latex twice, (Comparison with the other approaches and some refs. added. The version which will appear in J. Phys.

Quantum Hall Effect Wave Functions as Cyclic Representations of U_q(sl(2))

Quantum Hall effect wave functions corresponding to the filling factors 1/2p+1, 2/2p+1, ..., 2p/2p+1, 1, are shown to form a basis of irreducible cyclic representation of the quantum algebra U_q(sl(2)) at q^{2p+1}=1. Thus, the wave functions \Psi_{P/Q} possessing filling factors P/Q<1 where Q is odd and P, Q are relatively prime integers are classified in terms of U_q(sl(2)).Comment: Version to appear in Jour.
