Super-KMS functionals for graded-local conformal nets (Q494853): Difference between revisions

Given the importance of KMS states to quantum field theoretical systems, various extensions of the formalism were analysed for nets of quantum fields, chiral conformal nets and completely rational nets. Since supersymmetry may be combined with those KMS properties to yield a kind of super-thermodynamics, supersymmetric versions of conformal nets have been recently introduced [\textit{S. Carpi} et al., ibid. 9, No. 6, 1069--1121 (2008; Zbl 1154.81023)]. In this context several questions are addressed in the present paper. First a suitable definition of super-KMS functionals is provided fro garded translation covariant nets over \(\mathbb{R}\), of von Neumann algebras, so allowing to extend the results of [\textit{D. Buchholz} and \textit{R. Longo}, Adv. Theor. Math. Phys. 3, No. 3, 615--626 (1999; Zbl 0998.46032); addendum ibid. 3, No. 6, 1909--1910 (2000)]. Second, examples of super-KMS functionals are invented for some explicit superconformal nets on \(\mathbb{R}\). Additionally, a partial solution is given to the problem of whether super-KMS functionals for graded translation covariant nets give rise to generalized homotopy invariant entire cocycles and geometric invariants of the original net, c.f.
