Altering the Symmetry of Wavefunctions in Quantum Algebras and Supersymmetry

Abstract

The statistics-altering operators present in the limit $q=-1$ of multiparticle SU_q(2)-invariant subspaces parallel the action of such operators which naturally occur in supersymmetric theories. We illustrate this heuristically by comparison to a toy $N=2$ superymmetry algebra, and ask whether there is a supersymmetry structure underlying SU(2)_q at that limit. We remark on the relevance of such alternating-symmetry multiplets to the construction of invariant hamiltonians.
