Nilpotent charges in an interacting gauge theory and an đť’©=2 SUSY quantum mechanical model: (Anti-)chiral superfield approach

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217751X19501318Cited by:5 (Source: Crossref)

    We exploit the power and potential of the (anti-)chiral superfield approach (ACSA) to Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin (BRST) formalism to derive the nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations for any arbitrary D-dimensional interacting non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory where there is an SU(N) gauge invariant coupling between the gauge field and the Dirac fields. We derive the conserved and nilpotent (anti-)BRST charges and establish their nilpotency and absolute anticommutativity properties within the framework of ACSA to BRST formalism. The clinching proof of the absolute anticommutativity property of the conserved and nilpotent (anti-)BRST charges is a novel result in view of the fact that we consider, in our endeavor, only the (anti-)chiral super expansions of the superfields that are defined on the (D,1)-dimensional super-submanifolds of the general(D,2)-dimensional supermanifold on which our D-dimensional ordinary interacting non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory is generalized. To corroborate the novelty of the above result, we apply the ACSA to an 𝒩=2 supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanical (QM) model of a harmonic oscillator and show that the nilpotent and conserved 𝒩=2 supercharges of this system do not absolutely anticommute.
