Abstract

The (p=2) parabose–parafermi supersymmetry is studied in general terms. It is shown that the algebraic structure of the (p=2) parastatistical dynamical variables allows for (symmetry) transformations which mix the parabose and parafermi coordinate variables. The example of a simple parabose-parafermi oscillator is discussed and its symmetries investigated. It turns out that this oscillator possesses two parabose-parafermi supersymmetries. The combined set of generators of the symmetries forms the algebra of supersymmetric quantum mechanics supplemented with an additional central charge. In this sense there is no relation between the parabose–parafermi supersymmetry and the parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics. A precise definition of a quantum system involving this type of parabose-parafermi supersymmetry is offered, thus introducing (p=2) supersymmetric paraquantum mechanics. The spectrum degeneracy structure of general (p=2) supersymmetric paraquantum mechanics is analyzed in detail. The energy eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the parabose–parafermi oscillator are then obtained explicitly. The latter confirms the validity of the results obtained for general supersymmetric paraquantum mechanics.

Quantization of Paraclassical Systems and Parabose- Parafermi Supersymmetry

Ali MOSTAFAZADEH

A convenient formalism is developed to treat classical dynamical systems involving (p = 2) parafermionic and parabosonic dynamical variables. This is achieved via the introduction of a parabracket which summarizes the para-commutation relations of the corrosponding Green components in a unified manner. The formalism is used to investigate the supersymmetries of a system consisting of a (p= 2) parabose and a (p=2) parafermi oscillator. This suggests a definition for supersymmetric paraquantum mechanics of order p=2. For such systems the degeneracy strucure of the spectrum is also analyzed.

SUPERSYMMETRY OF PARAFERMIONS

SERGEI KLISHEVICH, Mikhail S. Plyushchay

We show that the single-mode parafermionic type systems possess supersymmetry, which is based on the symmetry of characteristic functions of the parafermions related to the generalized deformed oscillator of Daskaloyannis et al. The supersymmetry is realized in both unbroken and spontaneously broken phases. As in the case of parabosonic supersymmetry observed recently by one of the authors, the form of the associated superalgebra depends on the order of the parafermion and can be linear or nonlinear in the Hamiltonian. The list of supersymmetric parafermionic systems includes usual parafermions, finite-dimensional q-deformed oscillator, q-deformed parafermionic oscillator and parafermionic oscillator with internal Z2 structure.

Supersymmetries in pure parabosonic systems

Mikhail S. Plyushchay

Recently, we have observed that the bosonized supersymmetric quantum mechanics leads naturally to the R-deformed Heisenberg algebra (RDHA) related to parabosons and parafermions. Here we show that RDHA, in turn, gives rise not only to the bosonized supersymmetry associated with Witten's supersymmetric quantum mechanics but also supplies us with a supersymmetry characterized by a nonlinear superalgebra. Such nonlinear supersymmetry may be specified alternatively by a central extension of the usual N=1 superalgebra with grading operator included nontrivially as an even generator. The systems under consideration are described by the Hamiltonians of the simplest form $H_n=a^+a^-$ and $H_a=a^-a^+$ and reveal supersymmetries at the special values of the deformation parameter corresponding to parabosons of odd order. The peculiar nature of parabosonic supersymmetries is encoded in essentially nonlinear structure of their supercharges realized in terms of parabosonic creation-annihilation operators $a^\\pm$. At the values of deformation parameter corresponding to the even order parabosons the spectra of the Hamiltonians $H_n$ and $H_a$ have no supersymmetry but reveal `holes' in comparison with bosonic spectra, whose number is correlated with the parastatistics' order. It is shown that RDHA and the associated linear and nonlinear supersymmetries are realizable in the system of two identical fermions. The nonlinear supersymmetry of pure parabosonic systems possesses the structure of a reduced parasupersymmetry and may also be realized by appropriate modification of the classical analog of Witten's supersymmetric quantum mechanics.

Parastatistics, supersymmetry and parasupercoherent states

J. Beckers, N. Debergh

Coherent states are constructed in p=2-parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics in connection with the two relative para-Bose and para-Fermi sets of trilinear structure relations. They are called parasupercoherent states. Parasupersymmetric operators [such as the Hamiltonian and (two) annihilation operators] are introduced and discussed. In particular, the parasuperspectrum is determined and compared with the recent results obtained by Rubakov and Spiridonov [Mod. Phys. Lett. A 3, 1337 (1988)]. The superalgebra contents subtended by osp(2/2) and osp(3/2) are analyzed and exploited in order to get constants of motion in both contexts through parallel properties on the supersymmetric harmonic oscillator.

Algebraic structure of parabose Fock space. I. The Green’s ansatz revisited

Alan Macfarlane

A description of the Fock space of a parabose oscillator of order p based on commutation relations bilinear in creation and annihilation operators rather than trilinear ones is developed. A new statement of the well-known Green’s ansatz is introduced to help understand the significance of the bilinear commutation relations. It is also applied to show how all parabose oscillators of even order (respectively, odd order) can be obtained as irreducible constituents of the Fock space associated with a Green’s ansatz of two (three) terms. Analogs of the form in which the parabose Green’s ansatz is presented are provided for one parafermi oscillator and for systems of many parabose and parafermi oscillators of the same order. Methods used in the paper allow various new results for q-deformed parabose oscillators to be derived.

Coherent states and parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics

N. Debergh

It is well known that Parafermi and Parabose statistics are natural extensions of the usual Fermi and Bose ones, enhancing trilinear (anti)commutation relations instead of bilinear ones. Due to this generalization, positive parameters appear: the so-called orders of paraquantization p (= 1, 2, 3, ...) and h sub 0 (= 1/2, 1, 3/2, ...), respectively, the first value leading in each case to the usual statistics. The superpostion of the parabosonic and parafermionic operators gives rise to parasupermultiplets for which mixed trilinear relations have already been studied leading to two (nonequivalent) sets: the relative Parabose and the relative Parafermi ones. For the specific values p = 1 = 2h sub 0, these sets reduce to the well known supersymmetry. Coherent states associated with this last model have been recently put in evidence through the annihilation operator point of view and the group theoretical approach or displacement operator context. We propose to realize the corresponding studies within the new context p = 2 = 2h sub 0, being then directly extended to any order of paraquantization.
