Superconformal algebra — In theoretical physics, the superconformal algebra is a graded Lie algebra or superalgebra that combines the conformal algebra and supersymmetry. It generates the superconformal group in some cases (In two Euclidean dimensions, the Lie… … Wikipedia
N = 2 superconformal algebra — In mathematical physics, the N = 2 superconformal algebra is an infinite dimensional Lie superalgebra, related to supersymmetry, that occurs in string theory and conformal field theory. It has important applications in mirror symmetry.… … Wikipedia
Super Virasoro algebra — In mathematical physics, a super Virasoro algebra is an extension of the Virasoro algebra to a Lie superalgebra. There are two extensions with particular importance in superstring theory: the Ramond algebra (named after Pierre Ramond) and the… … Wikipedia
AdS/CFT correspondence — For the relation of the AdS/CFT correspondence to the general context of string theory, see String theory. The conformal field theory, which may be a gauge theory lies on the conformal boundary of anti deSitter space with quantum gravity. In… … Wikipedia
Supersymmetry nonrenormalization theorems — In theoretical physics a nonrenormalization theorem is a limitation on how a certain quantity in the classical description of a quantum field theory may be modified by renormalization in the full quantum theory. Renormalization theorems are… … Wikipedia
Weinberg-Witten theorem — Steven Weinberg and Edward Witten consider the so called emergent theories to be misguided. During the 80 s, preon theories, technicolor and the like were very popular and some people were speculating that gravity might be an emergent phenomena… … Wikipedia

Supergroup (physics) — The concept of supergroup is a generalization of that of group. In other words, every group is a supergroup but not every supergroup is a group.First, let us define a Hopf superalgebra. A Hopf algebra can be defined category theoretically as an… … Wikipedia
Conformal field theory — A conformal field theory (CFT) is a quantum field theory (or statistical mechanics model at the critical point) that is invariant under conformal transformations. Conformal field theory is often studied in two dimensions where there is an… … Wikipedia
