Topological Aspects of Parasupersymmetry
arXiv:hep-th/9506153
Abstract
Parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics is exploited to introduce a topological invariant associated with a pair of parameter dependent Fredholm (respectively elliptic differential) operators satisfying two compatibility conditions. An explicit algebraic expression for this topological invariant is provided. The latter identifies the parasupersymmetric topological invariant with the sum of the analytic (Atiyah-Singer) indices of the corresponding operators.
