三维N=2超对称自旋泡沫

N=2 supersymmetric spin foams in three dimensions

Etera R. Livine, James P. Ryan

摘要:

我们构造了N=2的三维超引力自旋泡沫模型。经典上,它是一个规范代数为osp(2| 2)。这个代数有不可完全约的表示。这使得建立状态和时的过程复杂化。幸运的是,我们可以而且应该去除这些表征。我们证明了限制子集的表示形式下张量积封闭的一个子范畴。由此产生的状态和再次是拓扑不变的。此外,在这个框架内,人们可以识别带正电和带负电的费米子在自旋泡沫上传播。这些结果在OSP(2| 2)表示和缠绕更普遍地适用于N=2圈量子超引力(3+1维)的自旋网络状态,其中它允许定义BPS状态的概念。

英文摘要:

We construct the spin foam model for N=2 supergravity in three dimensions. Classically, it is a BF theory with gauge algebra osp(2|2). This algebra has representations which are not completely reducible. This complicates the procedure when building a state sum. Fortunately, one can and should excise these representations. We show that the restricted subset of representations form a subcategory closed under tensor product. The resulting state-sum is once again a topological invariant. Furthermore, within this framework one can identify positively and negatively charged fermions propagating on the spin foam. These results on osp(2|2) representations and intertwiners apply more generally to spin network states for N=2 loop quantum supergravity (in 3+1 dimensions) where it allows to define a notion of BPS states.
