Abstract

A novel feature of the -graded supersymmetry which finds no counterpart in ordinary supersymmetry is the presence of -graded exotic bosons (implied by the existence of two classes of parafermions). Their interpretation, both physical and mathematical, presents a challenge. The role of the "exotic bosonic coordinate" was not considered by previous works on the one-dimensional -graded superspace (which was restricted to produce point-particle models). By treating this coordinate at par with the other graded superspace coordinates new consequences are obtained. The graded superspace calculus of the -graded worldline super-Poincaré algebra induces two-dimensional -graded relativistic models; they are invariant under a new -graded super-Poincaré algebra which differs from the previous two -graded versions of super-Poincaré introduced in the literature. In this new superalgebra the second translation generator and the Lorentz boost are -graded. Furthermore, if the exotic coordinate is compactified on a circle , a -graded closed string with periodic boundary conditions is derived. The analysis of the irreducibility conditions of the supermultiplet implies that a larger -deformed, where is a real parameter) class of point-particle models than the ones discussed so far in the literature (recovered at ) is obtained. While the spectrum of the point-particle models is degenerate (due to its relation with an supersymmetry), this is no longer the case for the models.
