Deformed \(\mathcal{N} = 8\) supersymmetric mechanics (Q2003755)

Summary: We give a brief review of deformed \(\mathcal{N} = 8\) supersymmetric mechanics as a generalization of SU(2|1) mechanics. It is based on the worldline realizations of the supergroups SU(2|2) and SU(4|1) in the appropriate \(\mathcal{N} = 8\), \(d = 1\) superspaces. The corresponding models are deformations of the standard \(\mathcal{N} = 8\) mechanics models by a mass parameter \(m\).
