Generalized Conformal and Superconformal Group Actions and Jordan Algebras

Abstract

We study the conformal groups of Jordan algebras along the lines suggested by Kantor. They provide a natural generalization of the concept of conformal transformations that leave 2-angles invariant to spaces where "p-angles" can be defined. We give an oscillator realization of the generalized conformal groups of Jordan algebras and Jordan triple systems(JTS). These results are extended to Jordan superalgebras and super JTS's. We give the conformal algebras of simple Jordan algebras, hermitian JTS's and the simple Jordan superalgebras as classified by Kac.
