Abstract

In the Bargmann-Fock representation the coordinates zi act as bosonic creation operators while the partial derivatives ∂zj act as annihilation operators on holomorphic 0-forms as states of a D-dimensional bosonic oscillator. Considering also p-forms and further geometrical objects as the exterior derivative and Lie derivatives on a holomorphic CD, we end up with an analogous representation for the D-dimensional supersymmetric oscillator. In particular, the supersymmetry multiplet structure of the Hilbert space corresponds to the cohomology of the exterior derivative. In addition, a 1-complex parameter group emerges naturally and contains both time evolution and a homotopy related to cohomology. Emphasis is on calculus.
