    Nilpotent Marsh and SUSY QM

    Get PDF
    We consider the nilpotent additions to classical trajectories in supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric theories. The condition of anilpotence of action on some generalized solutions leads to the Witten supersymmetric Lagrangian. The condition of anilpotence of topological charge is the same as one of superpotential with spontaneous broken supersymmetry. We should vanish half of Grassmann constants of integration, because in this case only we obtain the same number of normalized bosonic and fermionic zero modes.Comment: 8 pages, Latex 2.09.

    Potentials in N=4 superconformal mechanics

    Full text link
    Proceeding from nonlinear realizations of (super)conformal symmetries, we explicitly demonstrate that adding the harmonic oscillator potential to the action of conformal mechanics does not break these symmetries but modifies the transformation properties of the (super)fields. We also analyze the possibility to introduce potentials in N=4 supersymmetric mechanics by coupling it with auxiliary fermionic superfields. The new coupling we considered does not introduce new fermionic degrees of freedom - all our additional fermions are purely auxiliary ones. The new bosonic components have a first order kinetic term and therefore they serve as spin degrees of freedom. The resulting system contains, besides the potential term in the bosonic sector, a non-trivial spin-like interaction in the fermionic sector. The superconformal mechanics we constructed in this paper is invariant under the full D(2,1;α)D(2,1;\alpha) superconformal group. This invariance is not evident and is achieved within modified (super)conformal transformations of the superfields.Comment: 12 pages, PACS number: 12.60.J

    Dynamics of (SUSY) AdS Space Isometry Breaking

    Full text link
    Actions governing the dynamics of the Nambu-Goldstone modes resulting from the spontaneous breaking of the SO(4,2) and SU(2,21)SU(2,2|1) isometries of five dimensional anti-de Sitter space (AdS5AdS_{5}) and SUSY AdS5×S1AdS_{5}\times S_1 spaces respectively due to a restriction of the motion to embedded four dimensional AdS4AdS_{4} space and four dimensional Minkowski space (M4M_4) probe branes are presented. The dilatonic Nambu-Goldstone mode governing the motion of the M4M_4 space probe brane into the covolume of the SUSY AdS5×S1AdS_5\times S_1 space is found to be unstable. No such instablility appears in the other cases. Gauging these symmetries leads to an Einstein-Hilbert action containing, in addition to the gravitational vierbein, a massive Abelian vector field coupled to gravity.Comment: 6 pages, 0 figures, to appear in Proceedings of IRGAC 2006: 2nd International Conference on Quantum Theories and Renormalization Group in Gravity and Cosmology, Barcelon

    On the Inconsistency of Fayet-Iliopoulos Terms in Supergravity Theories

    Full text link
    Motivated by recent discussions, we revisit the issue of whether globally supersymmetric theories with non-zero Fayet-Iliopoulos terms may be consistently coupled to supergravity. In particular, we examine claims that a fundamental inconsistency arises due to the conflicting requirements which are imposed on the RR-symmetry properties of the theory by the supergravity framework. We also prove that certain kinds of Fayet-Iliopoulos contributions to the supercurrent supermultiplets of theories with non-zero Fayet-Iliopoulos terms fail to exist. A key feature of our discussion is an explicit comparison between results from the chiral (or ``old minimal'') and linear (or ``new minimal'') formulations of supergravity, and the effects within each of these formalisms that are induced by the presence of non-zero Fayet-Iliopoulos terms.Comment: Comments: 69 pages, LaTeX, 2 figures, 7 tables.

    Temperature dependent magnetic anisotropy in metallic magnets from an ab-initio electronic structure theory: L1_0-ordered FePt

    Full text link
    On the basis of a first-principles, relativistic electronic structure theory of finite temperature metallic magnetism, we investigate the variation of magnetic anisotropy, K, with magnetisation, M, in metallic ferromagnets. We apply the theory to the high magnetic anisotropy material, L1_0-ordered FePt, and find its uniaxial K consistent with a magnetic easy axis perpendicular to the Fe/Pt layering for all M and to be proportional to M^2 for a broad range of values of M. For small M, near the Curie temperature, the calculations pick out the easy axis for the onset of magnetic order. Our results are in good agreement with recent experimental measurements on this important magnetic material.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

    AdS_2/CFT_1, Canonical Transformations and Superconformal Mechanics

    Get PDF
    We propose a simple conformal mechanics model which is classically equivalent to a charged massive particle propagating near the AdS_2\times S^2 horizon of an extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole. The equivalence holds for any finite value of the black hole mass and with both the radial and angular degrees of freedom of the particle taken into account. It is ensured by the existence of a canonical transformation in the Hamiltonian formalism. Using this transformation, we construct the Hamiltonian of a N=4 superparticle on AdS_2\times S^2 background.Comment: 10 pages, LaTe

    Nonlinear supersymmetry: from classical to quantum mechanics

    Full text link
    Quantization of the nonlinear supersymmetry faces a problem of a quantum anomaly. For some classes of superpotentials, the integrals of motion admit the corrections guaranteeing the preservation of the nonlinear supersymmetry at the quantum level. With an example of the system realizing the nonlinear superconformal symmetry, we discuss the nature of such corrections and speculate on their possible general origin.Comment: 11 page

    Reconstruction of unbroken vasculature of mouse by varying the slope of the scan plane in MRI

    Get PDF
    Reconstruction of vascular net of small laboratory animals from MRI data is associated with some problems. This paper proposes a method of MRI data processing which allows to eliminate the fragmentation of reconstructed vascular net. Problem of vessels fragmentation occurs in the case when vessels are parallel to the scanning plane. Our approach is based on multiple scanning, object under consideration is probed by several sets of parallel planes. The algorithm is applied to real MRI data of small laboratory animals and shows good results

    New Super Calogero Models and OSp(4|2) Superconformal Mechanics

    Full text link
    We report on the new approach to constructing superconformal extensions of the Calogero-type systems with an arbitrary number of involved particles. It is based upon the superfield gauging of non-abelian isometries of some supersymmetric matrix models. Among its applications, we focus on the new N=4 superconformal system yielding the U(2) spin Calogero model in the bosonic sector, and the one-particle case of this system, which is a new OSp(4|2) superconformal mechanics with non-dynamical U(2) spin variables. The characteristic feature of these models is that the strength of the conformal inverse-square potential is quantized.Comment: 12 pages, talk presented by E.Ivanov at the XIII International Conference "Symmetry Methods in Physics", Dubna, July 6-9, 200
