Lie superalgebra in two dimensions

The standard formulation of two dimensional $N=(2,2)$ and $N=(0,2)$ supersymmetry algebras in physics is an explicit one; I am not aware of the underlying abstract Lie superalgebras. Does anyone know …

What kind of Lagrangians can we have?

The most valuable discovery of the 20th century physics is symmetry. When you try to write down a Lagrangian for a system, usually there are two "principles": (1) the symmetries this system has and (2 …

Characters of Kac-Moody algebra from orbifold

In a Wess–Zumino–Witten model on some Lie group G, the character of a particular integrable representation is the same as the specialized character from the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra. Suppose no …

Is symplectic reduction interesting from a physical point of view?

Here is a fancy example: Supersymmetry. Rigid N=1 supersymmetric theories in 4 dimension have a natural Kahler structure on the field space. The D-term is precisely a moment map. The moduli space of t …

Are there non-supersymmetric and/or non-Calabi-Yau topological sigma models?

I believe that A-model does not require a Calabi-Yau target space. In fact, A-model is well-defined on any almost complex manifold, which was Witten's original construction (Comm. Math. Phys. Volume 1 …
