In mathematical physics, the ''N'' = 2 superconformal algebra is an infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra, related to supersymmetry, that occurs in string theory and conformal field theory. It has important applications in mirror symmetry. It was introduced by as a gauge algebra of the U(1) fermionic string. ==Definition== There are two slightly different ways to describe the ''N'' = 2 superconformal algebra, called the ''N'' = 2 Ramond algebra and the ''N'' = 2 Neveu–Schwarz algebra, which are isomorphic (see below) but differ in the choice of standard basis. The ''N'' = 2 superconformal algebra is the Lie superalgebra with basis of even elements ''c'', ''L''''n'', ''J''''n'', for ''n'' an integer, and odd elements ''G'', ''G'', where (for the Ramond basis) or (for the Neveu–Schwarz basis) defined by the following relations: ::''c'' is in the center :: :: :: :: :: :: If in these relations, this yields the ''N'' = 2 Ramond algebra; while if are half-integers, it gives the ''N'' = 2 Neveu–Schwarz algebra. The operators generate a Lie subalgebra isomorphic to the Virasoro algebra. Together with the operators , they generate a Lie superalgebra isomorphic to the super Virasoro algebra, giving the Ramond algebra if are integers and the Neveu–Schwarz algebra otherwise. When represented as operators on a complex inner product space, is taken to act as multiplication by a real scalar, denoted by the same letter and called the ''central charge'', and the adjoint structure is as follows: : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「N = 2 superconformal algebra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
