Supergeometry

Supergeometry is differential geometry of modules over graded commutative algebras, supermanifolds and graded manifolds. Supergeometry is part and parcel of many classical and quantum field theories involving odd fields, e.g., SUSY field theory, BRST theory, or supergravity. Supergeometry is formulated in terms of -graded modules and sheaves over -graded commutative algebras (supercommutative algebras). In particular, superconnections are defined as Koszul connections on these modules and sheaves. However, supergeometry is not particular noncommutative geometry because of a different definition of a graded derivation. Graded manifolds and supermanifolds also are phrased in terms of sheaves of graded commutative algebras. Graded manifolds are characterized by sheaves on smooth manifolds, while supermanifolds are constructed by gluing of sheaves of supervector spaces. There are different types of supermanifolds. These are smooth supermanifolds (-, -, -supermanifolds), -supermanifolds, and DeWitt supermanifolds. In particular, supervector bundles and principal superbundles are considered in the category of -supermanifolds. Definitions of principal superbundles and principal superconnections straightforwardly follow that of smooth principal bundles and principal connections. Principal graded bundles also are considered in the category of graded manifolds. There is a different class of Quillen–Ne'eman superbundles and superconnections. These superconnections have been applied to computing the Chern character in K-theory, noncommutative geometry, and BRST formalism. (Wikipedia).

What is Supersymmetry?

In this video, Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln describes the principle of supersymmetry in an easy-to-understand way. A theory is supersymmetric if it treats forces and matter on an equal footing. While supersymmetry is an unproven idea, it is popular with particle physics researchers as a po

What is super-symmetry?

If you rotate a bowling ball, it looks the same even though it's been "transformed". We say that the bowling ball exhibits "rotational symmetry". The particles making up the universe exhibit related kinds of symmetries, in which the particles are transformed but the equations describing th

Axel de Goursac: Noncommutative Supergeometry and Quantum Field Theory

In this talk, we present the philosophy and the basic concepts of Noncommutative Supergeometry, i.e. Hilbert superspaces, C*-superalgebras and quantum supergroups. Then, we give examples of these structures coming from deformation quantization and we expose an application to renormalizable

AWESOME SUPERCONDUCTOR LEVITATION!!!

A quantum levitator it's a circular track of magnets above which a razor-thin disc magically levitates, seeming to defy the laws of physics. The key to the levitator is the disc, which is made of superconducting material sandwiched between layers of gold and sapphire crystal. A piece of fo
