quantum field theory - The superconformal algebra




  1. How does one derive the superconformal algebra?




  2. Especialy how to argue the existence of the operator S which doesn't exist either in either the supersymmetric algebra or the conformal algebra?





  3. What is the explanation of the convention of choosing If Jβα as a generator of SU(2)×SU(2) and RAB and r are the generators of the U(m) R-symmetry ( m4)? How does one get these R and r?




  4. One further defines R1,R2 and R3 as the generators of the Cartan subalgebra of SU(4) (the N=4 R-symmetry group) where these are defined such that Rk has 1 on the kth diagonal entry and 1 on the (k+1)th diagonal entry.




Using the above notation apparently one of the QS commutation looks like,


{SAα,QβB}=δABJβα+δβαRAB+δABδβα(H2+r4m4m)


I would like to know how the above comes about and why the above equation implies the following equation (..each of whose sides is defined as Δ)



2{Q4,S4}=H3J3+23k=1k4Rk


I can't understand how to get the second of the above equations from the first of the above and why is this Δ an important quantity.


{Is there any open source online reference available which explains the above issues?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
