After a short discussion of the intimate relation between the generalized statistics and supersymmetry, we review the recent results on the nonlinear supersymmetry obtained in the context of the quantum anomaly problem and of the universal algebraic construction associated with the holomorphic nonlinear supersymmetry.
Recently, it was noticed by us that the nonlinear holomorphic supersymmetry of order $n\in\N, n>1$, ($n$-HSUSY) has an algebraic origin. We show that the Onsager algebra underlies $n$-HSUSY and investigate the structure of the former in the context of the latter. A new infinite set of mutually commuting charges is found which, unlike those from the Dolan-Grady set, include the terms quadratic in the Onsager algebra generators. This allows us to find the general form of the superalgebra of $n$-HSUSY and fix it explicitly for the cases of $n=2,3,4,5,6$. The similar results are obtained for a new, contracted form of the Onsager algebra generated via the contracted Dolan-Grady relations. As an application, the algebraic structure of the known 1D and 2D systems with $n$-HSUSY is clarified and a generalization of the construction to the case of nonlinear pseudo-supersymmetry is proposed. Such a generalization is discussed in application to some integrable spin models and with its help we obtain a family of quasi-exactly solvable systems appearing in the $PT$-symmetric quantum mechanics.
We construct the covariant, spinor sets of relativistic wave equations for a massless field on the basis of the two copies of the R-deformed Heisenberg algebra. For the finite-dimensional representations of the algebra they give a universal description of the states with integer and half-integer helicity. The infinite-dimensional representations correspond formally to the massless states with fractional (real) helicity. The solutions of the latter type, however, break down the (3+1)$D$ Poincaré invariance to the (2+1)$D$ Poincaré invariance, and via a compactification on a circle a consistent theory for massive anyons in $D$=2+1 is produced. A general analysis of the ``helicity equation'' shows that the (3+1)$D$ Poincaré group has no massless irreducible representations with the trivial non-compact part of the little group constructed on the basis of the infinite-dimensional representations of $sl(2,\CC)$. This result is in contrast with the massive case where integer and half-integer spin states can be described on the basis of such representations, and means, in particular, that the (3+1)$D$ Dirac positive energy covariant equations have no massless limit.
The nonlinear $n$-supersymmetry with holomorphic supercharges is investigated for the 2D system describing the motion of a charged spin-1/2 particle in an external magnetic field. The universal algebraic structure underlying the holomorphic $n$-supersymmetry is found. It is shown that the essential difference of the 2D realization of the holomorphic $n$-supersymmetry from the 1D case recently analysed by us consists in appearance of the central charge entering non-trivially into the superalgebra. The relation of the 2D holomorphic $n$-supersymmetry to the 1D quasi-exactly solvable (QES) problems is demonstrated by means of the reduction of the systems with hyperbolic or trigonometric form of the magnetic field. The reduction of the $n$-supersymmetric system with the polynomial magnetic field results in the family of the one- dimensional QES systems with the sextic potential. Unlike the original 2D holomorphic supersymmetry, the reduced 1D supersymmetry associated with $x^6+...$ family is characterized by the non-holomorphic supercharges of the special form found by Aoyama et al.
We discuss the origin of the effectively free dynamics of the charge in the magnetic monopole field to apply it for finding the alternative treatment of the charge-monopole as a particle with spin, for tracing out the relation of the charge-monopole to the free relativistic anyon and for clarifying the nature of the non-standard nonlinear supersymmetry of the fermion-monopole system.
The topological nature of Chern-Simons term describing the interaction of a charge with magnetic monopole is manifested in two ways: it changes the plane dynamical geometry of a free particle for the cone dynamical geometry without distorting the free (geodesic) character of the motion, and in the limit of zero charge's mass it describes a spin system. This observation allows us to interpret the charge-monopole system alternatively as a free particle of fixed spin with translational and spin degrees of freedom interacting via the helicity constraint, or as a symmetric spinning top with dynamical moment of inertia and "isospin" U(1) gauge symmetry, or as a system with higher derivatives. The last interpretation is used to get the twistor formulation of the system. We show that the reparametrization and scale invariant monopole Chern-Simons term supplied with the kinetic term of the same invariance gives rise to the alternative description for the spin, which is related to the charge-monopole system in a spherical geometry. The relationship between the charge-monopole system and (2+1)-dimensional anyon is discussed in the light of the obtained results.
Deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection appeared in the context of Wigner's generalized quantization schemes underlying the concept of parafields and parastatistics of Green, Volkov, Greenberg and Messiah. We review the application of this algebra for the universal description of ordinary spin-$j$ and anyon fields in 2+1 dimensions, and discuss the intimate relation between parastatistics and supersymmetry.
It is shown that the generator of the nonstandard fermion-monopole supersymmetry uncovered by De Jonghe, Macfarlane, Peeters and van Holten, and the generator of its standard N=1/2 supersymmetry have to be supplemented by their product operator to be treated as independent supercharge. As a result, the fermion-monopole system possesses the nonlinear N=3/2 supersymmetry having the nature of the 3D spin-1/2 free particle's supersymmetry generated by the supercharges represented in a scalar form. Analyzing the supercharges' structure, we trace how under reduction of the fermion-monopole system to the spherical geometry the nonlinear N=3/2 superalgebra comprising the Hamiltonian and the total angular momentum as even generators is transformed into the standard linear N=1 superalgebra with the Hamiltonian to be the unique even generator.
We construct new relativistic linear differential equation in $d$ dimensions generalizing Dirac equation by employing the Clifford algebra of the cubic polynomial associated to Klein-Gordon operator multiplied by the mass parameter. Unlike the Dirac case where the spin content is unique and Lorentz covariance is manifest, here the spin as well as Lorentz covariance of the theory are related to the choice of representation of the Clifford algebra. One of the considered explicit matrix representations gives rise to anyon-like fields in $d=1+1$. Coupling to a U(1) gauge field is discussed and compared with Dirac theory.
We review the construction of minimally bosonized supersymmetric quantum mechanics and its relation to hidden supersymmetries in pure parabosonic (parafermionic) systems.
It is demonstrated that the recently proposed pseudoclassical model for Weyl particles [1] (D.M. Gitman, A.E. Goncalves and I.V. Tyutin, Phys. Rev. D 50 (1994) 5439) is classically inconsistent. A possible way of removing the classical inconsistency of the model is proposed.
The minimal bosonization of supersymmetry in terms of one bosonic degree of freedom is considered. A nontrivial relationship of the construction to the Witten supersymmetric quantum mechanics is illustrated with the help of the simplest $N=2$ SUSY system realized on the basis of the ordinary (undeformed) bosonic oscillator. It is shown that the generalization of such a construction to the case of Vasiliev deformed bosonic oscillator gives a supersymmetric extension of the 2-body Calogero model in the phase of exact or spontaneously broken $N=2$ SUSY. The construction admits an extension to the case of the OSp(2$\vert$2) supersymmetry, and, as a consequence, $osp(2\vert 2)$ superalgebra is revealed as a dynamical symmetry algebra for the bosonized supersymmetric Calogero model. Realizing the Klein operator as a parity operator, we construct the bosonized Witten supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Here the general case of the corresponding bosonized $N=2$ SUSY is given by an odd function being a superpotential.
Within a group-theoretical approach to the description of (2+1)-dimensional anyons, the minimal covariant set of linear differential equations is constructed for the fractional spin fields with the help of the deformed Heisenberg algebra (DHA), $[a^{-},a^{+}]=1+νK$, involving the Klein operator $K$, $\{K,a^{\pm}\}=0$, $K^{2}=1$. The connection of the minimal set of equations with the earlier proposed `universal' vector set of anyon equations is established. On the basis of this algebra, a bosonization of supersymmetric quantum mechanics is carried out. The construction comprises the cases of exact and spontaneously broken $N=2$ supersymmetry allowing us to realize a Bose-Fermi transformation and spin-1/2 representation of SU(2) group in terms of one bosonic oscillator. The construction admits an extension to the case of OSp(2$\vert$2) supersymmetry, and, as a consequence, both applications of the DHA turn out to be related. A possibility of `superimposing' the two applications of the DHA for constructing a supersymmetric (2+1)-dimensional anyon system is discussed. As a consequential result we point out that $osp(2|2)$ superalgebra is realizable as an operator algebra for a quantum mechanical 2-body (nonsupersymmetric) Calogero model.
The constrained Hamiltonian systems admitting no gauge conditions are considered. The methods to deal with such systems are discussed and developed. As a concrete application, the relationship between the Dirac and reduced phase space quantizations is investigated for spin models belonging to the class of systems under consideration. It is traced out that the two quantization methods may give similar, or essentially different physical results, and, moreover, a class of constrained systems, which can be quantized only by the Dirac method, is discussed. A possible interpretation of the gauge degrees of freedom is given.
(2+1)-dimensional relativistic fractional spin particles are considered within the framework of the group-theoretical approach to anyons starting from the level of classical mechanics and concluding by the construction of the minimal set of linear differential field equations.
The identity of classical motion is established for two physically different models, one of which is the relativistic particle with torsion, whose action contains higher derivatives and which is the effective system for the statistically charged particle interacting with the Chern-Simons U(1) gauge field, and another is the (2+1)-dimensional relativistic charged particle in external constant electromagnetic field.
The relationship between the Dirac and reduced phase space quantizations is investigated for spin models belonging to the class of Hamiltonian systems having no gauge conditions. It is traced out that the two quantization methods may give similar, or essentially different physical results, and, moreover, it is shown that there is a class of constrained systems, which can be quantized only by the Dirac method. A possible interpretation of the gauge degrees of freedom is given.
The simplest $N=2$ supersymmetric quantum mechanical system is realized in terms of the bosonic creation and annihilation operators obeying either ordinary or deformed Heisenberg algebra involving Klein operator. The construction comprises both the exact and spontaneously broken supersymmetry cases with the scale of supersymmetry breaking being governed by the deformation parameter. Proceeding from the broken supersymmetry case, we realize the Bose-Fermi transformation and obtain spin-$1/2$ representation of $SU(2)$ group in terms of one bosonic oscillator. We demonstrate that the constructions can be generalized to the more complicated $N=2$ supersymmetric systems, in particular, corresponding to the Witten supersymmetric quantum mechanics.
