Supersymmetries and their Representations

W. Nahm
- 27 Mar 1978 - 
TL;DR: In this article, all manifest supersymmetries in more than 1 + 1 dimensions, including those with conformal or de Sitter space-time symmetry, were determined and the structure of all representations and formulae for an effective computation were given.
Journal ArticleDOI

W-algebras with two and three generators

TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct all W -algebras of chiral fields which in addition to the energy-momentum density have a single generator of conformal dimension up to 8 and explicitly construct the W A 3 -algebra with generators of dimensions 2, 3, 4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quasi-rational fusion products

TL;DR: In this article, a category of quasi-rational representations of W-algebras is defined and shown to be stable under fusion, which may coincide with the category of representations of finite quantum dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analytical solution of the statistical bootstrap model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the bootstrap for the hadronic mass spectrum, which has been proposed by Hagedorn and Frautschi, and derive the sum rules which relate the asymptotic parameters of the spectrum, especially the maximal temperature, to its low mass part.
