Extended supersymmetric multiparticle Euler-Calogero-Moser model

We review the construction of supersymmetric extension of the n-particle Euler-Calogero-Moser model within the Hamiltonian approach [1]. The main feature of the proposed supersymmetrization method is that it is automatically adapted for a model with an arbitrary even number of supersymmetries. It is shown that the number of fermions that must be used in this construction is 1/2N n(n+1). We demonstrate that the resulting supersymmetric system is dynamically invariant with respect to the superconformal group and give the explicit realization of its generators in terms of the conserved currents. For the simplest case of the supersymmetric n-particle Euler-Calogero-Moser model we provide its description in superspace by using the corresponding constrained superfields. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd

N=4 Supersymmetry and the BPST Instanton

In this paper we construct the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of N=4 supersymmetric systems describing the motion of an isospin particle on a conformally flat four-manifold with SO(4) isometry carrying the non-Abelian field of a BPST instanton. The conformal factor can be specified to yield various particular systems, such as superconformally invariant mechanics as well as a particle on the four-sphere, the pseudosphere or on R x S^3. The isospin degrees of freedom arise as bosonic components of an additional fermionic N=4 supermultiplet, whose other components are rendered auxiliary by a nonlocal redefinition. Our on-shell component action coincides with the one recently proposed in arXiv:0912.3289.Comment: 1+8 pages; v2: two references added, published versio

Dynamical supersymmetry of spin particle-magnetic field interaction

We study the super and dynamical symmetries of a fermion in a monopole background. The Hamiltonian also involves an additional spin-orbit coupling term, which is parameterized by the gyromagnetic ratio. We construct the superinvariants associated with the system using a SUSY extension of a previously proposed algorithm, based on Grassmann-valued Killing tensors. Conserved quantities arise for certain definite values of the gyromagnetic factor: $\N=1$ SUSY requires $g=2$; a Kepler-type dynamical symmetry only arises, however, for the anomalous values $g=0$ and $g=4$. The two anomalous systems can be unified into an $\N=2$ SUSY system built by doubling the number of Grassmann variables. The planar system also exhibits an $\N=2$ supersymmetry without Grassmann variable doubling.Comment: 23 page

Superconformal mechanics

We survey the salient features and problems of conformal and superconformal mechanics and portray some of its developments over the past decade. Both classical and quantum issues of single- and multiparticle systems are covered.Comment: 1+68 pages, invited review for Journal of Physics A; v2: revised text extended by 4 pages and 11 references, published versio

Curved WDVV equation and supersymmetric mechanics

We extend the relation between the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde equation and N = 4 supersymmetric mechanics to arbitrary curved spaces. The resulting curved WDVV equation is written in terms of the third rank Codazzi tensor. We provide the solutions of the curved WDVV equation for the so(n) symmetric conformally flat metrics. We also explicitly demonstrate how each solution of the flat WDVV equation can be lifted up to the curved WDVV solution on the conformally flat spaces. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd
