Gauging the superconformal group with a graded dual operator
P. D. Alvarez, R. A. Chavez, J. Zanelli
Based on the superconformal algebra we construct a dual operator that introduces a grading among bosonic generators independent of the boson/fermion grading of the superalgebra. Th…
Embedding of rank two supercharges in the superconformal algebra
Pedro D. Alvarez, Rafael A. Chavez, J. Zanelli
We discuss an embedding of rank-two antisymmetric supercharges in the superalgebra, where . We describe an algorithm to construct the explicit f…
Chern-Simons approach to atmospheric dynamics
Martín Jacques-Coper, Valentina Ortiz, Jorge Zanelli
A simplified model for a planet's atmosphere as an open two-dimensional Chern-Simons system is presented. The dynamical variables describe an ideal gas by its velocity, mass densit…
Overspinning naked singularities in AdS spacetime
Matías Briceño, Cristián Martínez, Jorge Zanelli
The BTZ black hole belongs to a family of locally three-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes labeled by their mass and angular momentum . The case $M \ell \geq |J…
Extended MacDowell-Mansouri Supergravity
Pedro D. Alvarez, Lucas Delage, Mauricio Valenzuela +1
We construct a gauge theory based in the supergroup that generalizes MacDowell-Mansouri supergravity. This is done introducing an extended notion of Hodge operator in…
Unconventional SUSY and Conventional Physics: A Pedagogical Review
Pedro D. Alvarez, Lucas Delage, Mauricio Valenzuela +1
In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the observed particles come in fermion-boson pairs necessary for the realization of supersymmetry (SUSY). In spite of the expect…
