Extended Supersymmetries and 2+1 Dimensional Supersymmetric Chern Simons Theories

Abstract

We study N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons Higgs models in $(2+1)$-dimensions. As we will demonstrate, an extended supersymmetric quantum mechanics algebras underlies the fermionic zero modes quantum system and the zero modes corresponding to bosonic fluctuations. These two algebras, in turn, combine to give an N=4 extended 1-dimensional supersymmetric algebra with central charge
