Abstract
The set of dynamic symmetries of the scalar free Schrödinger equation in d space dimensions gives a realization of the Schrödinger algebra that may be extended into a representation of the conformal algebra in d+2 dimensions, which yields the set of dynamic symmetries of the same equation where the mass is not viewed as a constant, but as an additional coordinate. An analogous construction also holds for the spin-12 Lévy-Leblond equation. An N=2 supersymmetric extension of these equations leads, respectively, to a 'super-Schrödinger' model and to the (3|2)-supersymmetric model. Their dynamic supersymmetries form the Lie superalgebras osp(2|2)âsh(2|2) and osp(2|4), respectively. The Schrödinger algebra and its supersymmetric counterparts are found to be the largest finite-dimensional Lie subalgebras of a family of infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras that are systematically constructed in a Poisson algebra setting, including the Schrödinger-Neveu-Schwarz algebra sns(N) with N supercharges. Covariant two-point functions of quasiprimary superfields are calculated for several subalgebras of osp(2|4). If one includes both N=2 supercharges and time-inversions, then the sum of the scaling dimensions is restricted to a finite set of possible values.
