Constraints and Casimirs for Superpoincare and Supertranslation Algebras in various dimensions
Abstract
We describe, for arbitrary dimensions the construction of a covariant and supersymmetric constraint for the massless Super Poincare' algebra and we show that the constraint fixes uniquely the representation of the algebra. For the case of finite mass and in the absence of central charges we discuss a similar construction, which generalizes to arbitrary dimensions the concept of the superspin Casimir. Finally we discuss briefly the modifications introduced by central charges, both scalar and tensorial.
