Superizations of Cahen-Wallach symmetric spaces and spin representations of the Heisenberg algebra (Q2266916): Difference between revisions

Let \(M_0 = G_0/H\) be the Cahen-Wallach Lorentzian symmetric space with the spinor bundle \(S(M_0)\) defined by a spin representation \(\rho : H \to GL(S) \) of the stabilizer. The aim of the author is to describe the superizations of the homogeneous manifold \(M\) that is its extension to a homogeneous supermanifold \(M = G/H\) whose sheaf of superfunctions is isomorphic to \(\Lambda(S^*(M_0))\). Here \(G\) is a Lie supergroup, which is the superization of the Lie group \(G_0\) associated with a superization of the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}_0 = \mathrm{Lie}\, G_0\) to a Lie superalgebra \(\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}_{\bar 0} + \mathfrak{g}_{\bar1} = \mathfrak{g}_{\bar 0} + S\) via the Kostant construction. The construction of the superization \(\mathfrak{g}\) reduces to an extension of the spin representation \(\rho : \mathfrak{h} \to \mathfrak{gl}(S)\) to a representation \(\rho : \mathfrak{g}_0 \to \mathfrak{gl}(S)\) and the construction of an appropriate \(\rho(\mathfrak{g}_0)\)-equivariant bilinear form on the spinor space \(S\). Since the Cahen-Wallach Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}_0\) has the Heisenberg Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{heis}\) as a codimension one ideal, at first, the author describes spin representations of \(\mathfrak{heis}\) and then studies their extensions to \(\mathfrak{g}_0\). There are two classes of spinor representations of \(\mathfrak{heis}\) and \(\mathfrak{g}_0\): zero charge representation, when the center of \(\mathfrak{heis} \) goes to zero and non-zero charge representations. An extension of a zero charge representation of \(\mathfrak{heis}\) to a representation of the Cahen-Wallach algebra reduces to a solution of some quadratic equation in the Clifford algebra. The case of non-zero charge representation is more complicated and strongly depends on \( n:= \dim M_0\pmod 8\). The author describes extensions for \(n=10 \pmod 8\). General results about superizations \(\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{g}_{\bar 0} + \mathfrak{g}_{\bar 1}\) of the Cahen-Wallach algebra are stated and examples are considered.
