Supersymmetric formulation of the minimal surface equation: algebraic aspects

In this paper, a supersymmetric extension of the minimal surface equation is formulated. Based on this formulation, a Lie superalgebra of infinitesimal symmetries of this equation is determined. A classification of the one-dimensional subalgebras is performed, which results in a list of 143 conjugacy classes with respect to action by the supergroup generated by the Lie superalgebra. The symmetry reduction method is used to obtain invariant solutions of the supersymmetric minimal surface equation. The classical minimal surface equation is also examined and its group-theoretical properties are compared with those of the supersymmetric version.

On the Integrability of Supersymmetric Versions of the Structural Equations for Conformally Parametrized Surfaces

The paper presents the bosonic and fermionic supersymmetric extensions of the structural equations describing conformally parametrized surfaces immersed in a Grasmann superspace, based on the authors' earlier results. A detailed analysis of the symmetry properties of both the classical and supersymmetric versions of the Gauss-Weingarten equations is performed. A supersymmetric generalization of the conjecture establishing the necessary conditions for a system to be integrable in the sense of soliton theory is formulated and illustrated by the examples of supersymmetric versions of the sine-Gordon equation and the Gauss-Codazzi equations.
