N=4 chiral supermultiplet interacting with a magnetic field

We couple N=4 chiral supermultiplet with an auxiliary N=4 fermionic supermutiplet containing on-shell four physical fermions and four auxiliary bosons. The latter ones play the role of isospin variables. We choose the very specific coupling which results in a component action containing only time derivatives of fermionic components presented in the auxiliary supermultiplet, which therefore may be dualized into auxiliary ones. The resulting component action describes the interaction of the chiral supermultiplet with a magnetic field constant on the pseudo-sphere $SU(1,1)/U(1)$. Then we specify the prepotential of our theory to get, in the bosonic sector, the action for the particle moving over the pseudo-sphere -- Lobachevsky space. We provided also the Hamiltonian formulation of this system and show that the full symmetry group of our system is $SU(1,1)\times U(1)$. The currents forming the $su(1,1)$ algebra are modified, as compared to the bosonic case, by the fermionic and isospin terms, while the additional u(1) current contains only isospin variables. One of the most important features of our construction is the presence in the Hamiltonian and supercharges of all currents of the isospin group SU(2). Despite the fact that two of the su(2) currents ${T,{\bar{T}}}$ enter the Hamiltonian only through the Casimir operator of the SU(2) group, they cannot be dropped out, even after fixing the total isospin of the system, because these currents themselves enter into the supercharges. We also present the Hamiltonian and supercharges describing the motion of a particle over the sphere $S^2$ in the background of constant magnetic field. In this case the additional isospin currents form the $su(1,1)$ algebra.

SU(2) reductions in N=4 multidimensional supersymmetric mechanics

We perform an su(2) Hamiltonian reduction in the bosonic sector of the su(2)-invariant action for two free (4, 4, 0) supermultiplets. As a result, we get the five dimensional N=4 supersymmetric mechanics describing the motion of an isospin carrying particle interacting with a Yang monopole. We provide the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian descriptions of this system. Some possible generalizations of the action to the cases of systems with a more general bosonic action, a four-dimensional system which still includes eight fermionic components, and a variant of five-dimensional N=4 mechanics constructed with the help of the ordinary and twisted N=4 hypermultiplets were also considered.

N=2 supersymmetric particle near extreme Kerr throat

We construct a new N=2 supersymmetric extension of a massive particle moving near the horizon of the extreme Kerr black hole. Our supercharges and Hamiltonian contain the proper number of fermions (two for each bosonic variables). The key ingredient of our construction is a proper choice of the bosonic variables which all have a clear geometric meaning.

N=4, d=1 Supersymmetric Hyper-Kaehler Sigma Models and Non-Abelian Monopole Background

We construct a Lagrangian formulation of \Nf supersymmetric mechanics with hyper-Kähler sigma models in a bosonic sector in the non-Abelian background gauge field. The resulting action includes a wide class of \Nf supersymmetric mechanics describing the motion of an isospin-carrying particle over spaces with non-trivial geometry. In two examples we discuss in details, the background fields are identified with the field of BPST instantons in the flat and Taub-NUT spaces.

Five-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric mechanics

We perform an $su(2)$ Hamiltonian reduction in the bosonic sector of the $su(2)$-invariant action for two free $(4,4,0)$ supermultiplets. As a result, we get the five dimensional \Nf supersymmetric mechanics describing the motion of an isospin carrying particle interacting with a Yang monopole. Some possible generalizations of the action to the cases of systems with a more general bosonic action constructed with the help of the ordinary and twisted \Nf hypermultiplets are considered.

We provide a Lagrangian formulation of \Nf supersymmetric mechanics describing the motion of an isospin carrying particle on conformal to hyper-Kähler spaces in a non-Abelian background gauge field. In two examples we discuss in details, this background field is identified with the field of BPST instantons in the flat and Taub-NUT spaces.

Dual multiplets in N=4 superconformal mechanics

We propose Lagrangian formulations of a three-particles translation invariant $N=4$ superconformal mechanics based on the standard and twisted $(1,4,3)$ supermultiplets. We show that in the appropriate set of coordinates, in which the bosonic kinetic terms for each of the two cases take conformally-flat forms, the corresponding models produce just similar physical systems with the flipped angular part of bosonic potential $U(x)\rightarrow 1/U(x)$. This flipping looks so simple only being written in the "angle" variable, while in the standard variables it looks more complicated to preserve the superconformal symmetry. We demonstrate at both the superfield and the component level, how familiar $N=4$ supersymmetric 3-particles models, including $3-Calogero$, ${\it BC_2}$ and ${\it G_2}$ ones, can be constructed with twisted supermultiplets. We also present some new explicit examples of 3-dimensional superconformal mechanics.

N=4 Supersymmetry and the BPST Instanton

In this paper we construct the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of N=4 supersymmetric systems describing the motion of an isospin particle on a conformally flat four-manifold with SO(4) isometry carrying the non-Abelian field of a BPST instanton. The conformal factor can be specified to yield various particular systems, such as superconformally invariant mechanics as well as a particle on the four-sphere, the pseudosphere or on R x S^3. The isospin degrees of freedom arise as bosonic components of an additional fermionic N=4 supermultiplet, whose other components are rendered auxiliary by a nonlocal redefinition. Our on-shell component action coincides with the one recently proposed in arXiv:0912.3289.

Three dimensional N=4 supersymmetric mechanics with Wu-Yang monopole

We propose Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of a N=4 supersymmetric three-dimensional isospin-carrying particle moving in the non-Abelian field of a Wu-Yang monopole and in some specific scalar potential. This additional potential is completely fixed by N=4 supersymmetry and in the simplest case of flat metrics it coincides with that which provides the existence of the Runge-Lenz vector for the bosonic subsector. The isospin degrees of freedom are described on the Lagrangian level by bosonic auxiliary variables forming N=4 supermultiplet with additional, also auxiliary fermions. Being quite general, the constructed systems include such interesting cases as N=4 superconformally invariant systems with Wu-Yang monopole, the particles living in the flat R^3 and in the R x S^2 spaces and interacting with the monopole, and also the particles moving on three-dimensional sphere and pseudo-sphere with Wu-Yang monopole sitting in the center. The superfield Lagrangian description of these systems is so simple that one could wonder to see how all couplings and the proper coefficients arise while passing to the component action.

Hidden symmetries of integrable conformal mechanical systems

We split the generic conformal mechanical system into a "radial" and an "angular" part, where the latter is defined as the Hamiltonian system on the orbit of the conformal group, with the Casimir function in the role of the Hamiltonian. We reduce the analysis of the constants of motion of the full system to the study of certain differential equations on this orbit. For integrable mechanical systems, the conformal invariance renders them superintegrable, yielding an additional series of conserved quantities originally found by Wojciechowski in the rational Calogero model. Finally, we show that, starting from any N=4 supersymmetric "angular" Hamiltonian system one may construct a new system with full N=4 superconformal D(1,2;α) symmetry.

SU(2) reduction in N=4 supersymmetric mechanics

We perform an su(2) Hamiltonian reduction of the general su(2)-invariant action for a self-coupled (4,4,0) supermultiplet. As a result, we elegantly recover the N=4 supersymmetric mechanics with spin degrees of freedom which was recently constructed in arXiv:0812.4276. This observation underscores the exceptional role played by the ``root'' supermultiplet in N=4 supersymmetric mechanics.

Potentials in N=4 superconformal mechanics

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 $D(2,1;α)$ superconformal group. This invariance is not evident and is achieved within modified (super)conformal transformations of the superfields.

N=4 superconformal n-particle mechanics via superspace

We revisit the (untwisted) superfield approach to one-dimensional multi-particle systems with N=4 superconformal invariance. The requirement of a standard (flat) bosonic kinetic energy implies the existence of inertial (super-)coordinates, which is nontrivial beyond three particles. We formulate the corresponding integrability conditions, whose solution directly yields the superpotential, the two prepotentials and the bosonic potential. The structure equations for the two prepotentials, including the WDVV equation, follow automatically. The general solution for translation-invariant three-particle models is presented and illustrated with examples. For the four-particle case, we take advantage of known WDVV solutions to construct a D_3 and a B_3 model, thus overcoming a previously-found barrier regarding the bosonic potential. The general solution and classification remain a challenge.

Multi-center MICZ-Kepler system, supersymmetry and integrability

We propose the general scheme of incorporation of the Dirac monopoles into mechanical systems on the three-dimensional conformal flat space. We found that any system (without monopoles) admitting the separation of variables in the elliptic or parabolic coordinates can be extended to the integrable system with the Dirac monopoles located at the foci of the corresponding coordinate systems. Particular cases of this class of system are the two-center MICZ-Kepler system in the Euclidean space, the limiting case when one of the background dyons is located at the infinity as well as the model of particle in parabolic quantum dot in the presence of parallel constant uniform electric and magnetic fields.

N=4, d=1 supermultiplets from nonlinear realizations of D(2,1;α)

Proceeding from nonlinear realizations of the most general N=4, d=1 superconformal symmetry associated with the supergroup D(2,1;α), we construct all known and two new off-shell N=4, d=1 supermultiplets as properly constrained N=4 superfields. We find plenty of nonlinear interrelations between the multiplets constructed and present a few examples of invariant superfield actions for them. The superconformal transformation properties of these multiplets are explicit within our method.

Many-Body Superconformal Systems from Hamiltonian Reductions

We propose a new reduction mechanism which allows one to construct n-particle (super)conformal theories with pairwise interaction starting from a composite system involving n(n-1)/2+1 copies of the ordinary (super)conformal mechanics. Applications of the scheme include an N=4 superconformal extension for a complexification of the Calogero model and a D(2,1|α)-invariant n-particle system.
