Lobachevsky geometry of (super)conformal mechanics
arXiv:0803.1293 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2009.01.036
Abstract
We give a simple geometric explanation for the similarity transformation mapping one-dimensional conformal mechanics to free-particle system. Namely, we show that this transformation corresponds to the inversion of the Klein model of Lobachevsky space (non-compact complex projective plane). We also extend this picture to the N=2k superconformal mechanics described in terms of Lobachevsky superspace.
