Supervariable approach to particle on a torus knot: A model for Hodge theory

Abstract

We analyze a particle constrained to move on a $(p,q)$-torus knot within the framework of supervariable approach and deduce the BRST as well as anti-BRST symmetries. We also capture the nilpotency and absolute anti-commutativity of (anti-)BRST symmetries in this framework. Further, we show the existence of some novel symmetries in the system such as (anti-)co-BRST, bosonic, and ghost scale symmetries. We demonstrate that the conserved charges (corresponding to these symmetries) adhere to an algebra which is analogous to that of de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry. As the charges (and the symmetries) find a physical realization with the differential geometrical operators, at the algebraic level, the present model presents a prototype for Hodge theory.
