i-conformal Galilei algebra is considered. N = 2 supersymmetric extension of this algebra is constructed. A relation between its representations in flat spacetime and in Newton-Hooke spacetime is discussed.
Keywords: conformai Galilei algebra, supersymmetrv.
1 Introduction
The non-relativistic version of the Anti-de Sitter /Conformai Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence fl] stimulates extensive investigation of non-relativistic conformai algebras [2]- [4]. Algebras relevant for physical applications in flat non-relativistic spacetime as well as in Newton-Hooke spacetime (i.e. spacetime with cosmological repulsion/attraction [5]) belong to the family of the l-conformal Galilei algebras [7,16] l being a positive integer or half-integer.
Supersymmetric extension of the l-conformal Galilei algebras and their dynamical realizations have been studied in detail for l = 2 (the Schrödinger algebra) and l = 1 (the conformai Galilei algebra). In [8] an N =1 supersymmetric extension of the Schrödinger algebra was identified with the symmetry algebra of the non-relativistic spin-2 particle. In [9] it was shown that the non-relativistic limit of the Chern-Simons matter system in (2+1) dimensions is invariant under N =2 Schrödinger supersymmetry. Many-body quantum mechanics invariant under N =2 Schrödinger supersymmetry was studied in [10]. Relations between the Schrödinger superalgebra and relativistic super-conformal algebras were discussed in [11]- [12]. More recently, supersymmetric extensions of the conformai Galilei algebra were extensively investigated by applying various non-relativistic contractions [13]- [14].
N = 2
supersymmetric extension of the l-conformal Galilei algebra for the case of arbitrary l [15]. We do this in section 2. Representations of this superalgebra in flat and Newton-Hooke spacetimes are considered in section 3. We also give a coordinate transformation, which relates the representations.
2 N=2 supersymmetric extension of the l-conformal Galilei algebra
First let us recall the structure of the l-conformal Galilei algebra. It involves the generator of time trans-
lations H, the generator of dilatations D, the generator of special conformal transformations K, the generators of space rotations Mij, and a chain of vector generators C(n), n = 0,1,.., 21. In particular, for n = 0 one obtains the generator of space translations, n =1 gives
n
accelerations. The non-vanishing structure relations read [7]
[H, D] = H, [H,c(n)] = nC(n-1),
[H, K] = 2D, [D, c(n)] = (n - 1)c(n),
[D, K] = K, [K, c(n)] = (n - 21)c(n+1), (1)
[Mij ,C(n)] = -¿ifccjn) + j C(n),
[Mij , Mkl] = -Sik Mjl — SjlMik + SilMjk + Sjk Mil.
H D K one dimension so(2,1).
In order to construct an N =2 supersymmetric extension of this algebra, we introduce a pair of supersymmetry generators Q+ mid Q-, the super-conformal generators S+ mid S-, fermionic partners of the vector generators L(n)+ mid L(n) with n =
i i (n)
0,1,.., 21 — 1, extra bosonic vector generators Pi ) with n = 0,1,.., 21 — 2, and the bosonic generator J which corresponds to u(1)-R-symmetry. It is assumed that the odd generators are antihermitian conjugates of each other
(Q+)f = —Q-, (S+ )f = —S-,
(¿in)+)' = — L<nH (2)
The bosonic operators J Mid P(n) are taken to be antihermitian as well.
In addition to (5) we impose the following structure

relations [15]
{Q+, Q-} = 2iH, {Q±, ST} = 2iD ± J,
{S+, S-} = 2iK, [Q±, C(n)] = nL,(n-1)±,
[H,S ±] = Q±, [Q±,p(n)] = iL,(n)±,
[K, Q±] = -S±, [S±, C(n)] = (n - 21)L,(n)±
[D,Q±] = -1 Q±, [S±,p(n)] = iL(n+1)±,
[D, S±] = 2S±, [H, L(n)±] = nL(n-1)±,
[J, Q±] = ±iQ±, [H,Pj(n)] = nPj(n-1),
[J, S±] = ±iS±, [J, L(n)±] = ±iL(n)±,
{Q±,l(”)t} = *c(n) t nPf-1),
{S±, l(”)t} = ¿c(”+1) t (n - 21 + 1)Pj(n), [D,L(n)±] = (n - 1 + 1/2)L((n)±,
[D,Pj(n)] = (n - 1 + 1)Pj(n),
[K,L,(n)±] = (n - 21 + 1)L,(n+1)±,
[K,Pj(n)] = (n - 21 + 2)Pj(n+1),
M ,Lkn)±] = -*fc 4n)± + j L(n)±,
M, Pkn)] = -¿¿j + ¿¿fcP(n). (3)
Note that 1 = 1/2 reproduces the well known N =2 Schrôdinger superalgebra [10].
3 Realizations in superspace
First let us construct a realization of the superalgebra (3) in flat superspace. Introducing two Grassmann variables 0+ and 0-, which are complex conjugates of each other (0+)^ = 0-, one finds [15] (see also a related work [16])
D = tdt + 1xjdj + 20 dg- + ^0+dg+,
K = t2dt + 21txjdj + t0-dg- + t0+dg+,
S± = t0±dt + itdgT + 210± Xjdj + 0±0^dgT Q± = idgT + 0± dt,
H = dt, J = i0+dg+ - i0-dg-, c(n) = tnd n = 0,.., 21,
P(n) = 0-0+t”dj n = 0,.., 21 - 2,
L(n)± = 0±tn3i, n = 0,.., 21 - 1,
Mj = Xjdj - Xj dj.
Discarding the fermions one reproduces a realiza-1
In order to construct a realization of the superalgebra (3) in Newton-Hooke spacetime extended by fermionic variables, we introduce an analogue of Niederer’s transformation. Guided by the analysis in
[10], we first consider a coordinate transformation [15]
t' = R tan(t/R), t' = R tanh(t/R),
xi = (cos (t/R))-21 xi, xi = (cosh (t/R))-2lxi,
(0±)' = (cos (t/R))-10±,
(0±)' = (cosh (t/R))-10±, (5)
where the prime denotes coordinates parameterizing flat superspace. Here the left/right column corresponds to Newton-Hooke spacetime with negative/positive cosmological constant. Then we consider
1
algebra
1 1 i
H ^ H ± RK t R J, Q± ^ Q± ± RS±, (6)
where the upper/lower sign in the generator of time translations corresponds to negative/positive cosmological constant. The operators of realization (3) in Newton-Hooke superspacetime are constructed by using (5) in paper [15].
4 Conclusion
To summarize, in this paper we have constructed an N = 2 supersymmetric extension of the 1-conformal Galilei algebra and its realizations in flat spacetime and in Newton-Hooke spacetime. A coordinate transformation which links the realizations was given. An infinite-dimensional extension was proposed.
