Area-Preserving Algebra Structure of Two-Dimensional Supergravity

The effective action for 2d-gravity in Weyl-invariant regularization is extended to supersymmetric case. The super area-preserving invariance and cocyclic properties under general supergravitational transformations of the last action is shown.Comment: latex file, no figures, 5 pages.

Jordan-Schwinger Representations and Factorised Yang-Baxter Operators

The construction elements of the factorised form of the Yang-Baxter R operator acting on generic representations of q-deformed sl(n+1) are studied. We rely on the iterative construction of such representations by the restricted class of Jordan-Schwinger representations. The latter are formulated explicitly. On this basis the parameter exchange and intertwining operators are derived.Comment: based on a contribution to ISQS200

Closed Form Effective Conformal Anomaly Actions in D≥\geq4

I present, in any D$\geq$4, closed-form type B conformal anomaly effective actions incorporating the logarithmic scaling cutoff dependence that generates these anomalies. Their construction is based on a novel class of Weyl-invariant tensor operators. The only known type A actions in D$\geq$4 are extensions of the Polyakov integral in D=2; despite contrary appearances, we show that their nonlocality does not conflict with general anomaly requirements. They are, however, physically unsatisfactory, prompting a brief attempt at better versions.Comment: 8 pages. Improved discussion of type A actions. Some references adde
