    The conformal Galilei algebra (CGA) is a non-semisimple Lie algebra labelled by two parameters dd and \ell. The aim of the present work is to investigate the lowest weight representations of CGA with d=1d = 1 for any integer value of \ell. First we focus on the reducibility of the Verma modules. We give a formula for the Shapovalov determinant and it follows that the Verma module is irreducible if =1\ell = 1 and the lowest weight is nonvanishing. We prove that the Verma modules contain many singular vectors, i.e., they are reducible when 1\ell \neq 1. Using the singular vectors, hierarchies of partial differential equations defined on the group manifold are derived. The differential equations are invariant under the kinematical transformation generated by CGA. Finally we construct irreducible lowest weight modules obtained from the reducible Verma modules

    We introduce two classes of novel color superalgebras of Z2×Z2 \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 grading. This is done by realizing members of each in the universal enveloping algebra of the N=1{\cal N}=1 supersymmetric extension of the conformal Galilei algebra. This allows us to upgrade any representation of the super conformal Galilei algebras to a representation of the Z2×Z2 \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 graded algebra. As an example, boson-fermion Fock space representation of one class is given. We also provide a vector field realization of members of the other class by using a generalization of the Grassmann calculus to Z2×Z2 \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 graded setting.Comment: 17 pages, no figur
