FRACTIONAL SUPERSYMMETRIC QUANTUM MECHANICS, TOPOLOGICAL INVARIANTS AND GENERALIZED DEFORMED OSCILLATOR ALGEBRAS
C. Quesne
Abstract
Fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics of order λ is realized in terms of the generators of a generalized deformed oscillator algebra and a Zλgrading structure is imposed on the Fock space of the latter. This realization is shown to be fully reducible with the irreducible components providing λ sets of minimally bosonized operators corresponding to both unbroken and broken cases. It also furnishes some examples of Zλ-graded uniform topological symmetry of type (1, 1,..., 1) with topological invariants generalizing the Witten index.
