Geometrization of N-Extended 1-Dimensional Supersymmetry Algebras

Abstract

The problem of classifying off-shell representations of the $N$-extended one-dimensional super Poincaré algebra is closely related to the study of a class of decorated $N$-regular, $N$-edge colored bipartite graphs known as {\em Adinkras}. In this paper we {\em canonically} realize these graphs as Grothendieck ``dessins d'enfants,'' or Belyi curves uniformized by certain normal torsion-free subgroups of the $(N,N,2)$-triangle group. We exhibit an explicit algebraic model over $\mathbb{Q}({\zeta }_{2N})$, as a complete intersection of quadrics in projective space, and use Galois descent to prove that the curves are, in fact, definable over $\mathbb{Q}$ itself. The stage is thereby set for the geometric interpretation of the remaining Adinkra decorations in Part II.
