The concept in theoretical physics of supersymmetry can be reinterpreted in the language of noncommutative geometry and quantum groups. In particular, it involves a mild form of noncommutativity, namely supercommutativity. ==Unitary (-1)''F'' operator== Following is the essence of supersymmetry, which is encapsulated within the following minimal quantum group. We have the two dimensional Hopf algebra generated by (-1)F subject to : with the counit : and the coproduct : and the antipode : Thus far, there is nothing supersymmetric about this Hopf algebra at all; it is isomorphic to the Hopf algebra of the two element group . Supersymmetry comes in when introducing the nontrivial quasitriangular structure : where +1 eigenstates of (-1)''F'' are called bosons and -1 eigenstates are called fermions. This describes a fermionic braiding; don't pick up a phase factor when interchanging two bosons or a boson and a fermion, but multiply by -1 when interchanging two fermions. This provides the essence of the boson/fermion distinction. 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「Supersymmetry as a quantum group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
