Abstract: We study supersymmetric harmonic maps from the point of view of integrable system. It is well known that harmonic maps from R^2 into a symmetric space are solutions of a integrable system . We show here that the superharmonic maps from R^{2|2} into a symmetric space are solutions of a integrable system, more precisely of a first elliptic integrable system in the sense of C.L. Terng and that we have a Weierstrass-type representation in terms of holomorphic potentials (as well as of meromorphic potentials). In the end of the paper we show that superprimitive maps from R^{2|2} into a 4-symmetric space give us, by restriction to R^2, solutions of the second elliptic system associated to the previous 4-symmetric space.

Review text

The paper studies supersymmetric harmonic maps from the point of view of integrable systems. Similar to the harmonic maps from \(\mathbb{R}^2\) into symmetric spaces which are known to be solutions of integrable systems, the superharmonic maps from \(\mathbb{R}^{2| 2}\) into symmetric spaces are shown to be solutions of a first elliptic integrable system in the sense of \textit{C.-L. Terng} [Geometries and symmetries of soliton equations and integrable elliptic equations, arXiv: math.DG/0212372 (30 Dec. 2002)]. A Weierstrass-type representation is constructed in terms of holomorphic potentials (as well as of meromorphic potentials). Finally, it is shown that the superprimitive maps from \(\mathbb{R}^{2| 2}\) into a 4-symmetric space provide, by restriction to \(\mathbb{R}^2\), solutions of the second elliptic system associated with the previous 4-symmetric space.
