Extended supersymmetry explained
In theoretical physics, extended supersymmetry is supersymmetry whose infinitesimal generators
carry not only a
spinor index
, but also an additional index
where
is integer (such as 2 or 4).
Extended supersymmetry is also called
,
supersymmetry, for example. Extended supersymmetry is very important for analysis of mathematical properties of
quantum field theory and
superstring theory. The more extended supersymmetry is, the more it constrains physical observables and parameters.
