Classical N=2 W-superalgebras From Superpseudodifferential Operators

TL;DR

This paper explores the structure of N=2 superalgebras derived from superpseudodifferential operators, revealing their relation to super Virasoro algebra and constructing supermultiplets.

Contribution

It introduces a new framework for superpseudodifferential operators of various orders and identifies their algebraic structures, including the embedding of N=2 super Virasoro algebra.

Findings

Superalgebras contain N=2 super Virasoro algebra as a subalgebra when the leading order is odd.

Decomposition of coefficient functions into N=1 primary fields via covariantization.

Explicit construction of supermultiplets from superpseudodifferential operators.

Abstract

We study the supersymmetric Gelfand-Dickey algebras associated with the superpseudodifferential operators of positive as well as negative leading order. We show that, upon the usual constraint, these algebras contain the N=2 super Virasoro algebra as a subalgebra as long as the leading order is odd. The decompositions of the coefficient functions into N=1 primary fields are then obtained by covariantizing the superpseudodifferential operators. We discuss the problem of identifying N=2 supermultiplets and work out a couple of supermultiplets by explicit computations.
