Killing Superalgebras in $2$ Dimensions

Andrew D. K. Beckett

University of Edinburgh, UK

Abstract: We provide some examples of Killing superalgebras on $2$-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds within the theoretical framework established in [SIGMA 21 (2025), 081, 61 pages]. We compute the Spencer cohomology group $\mathsf{H}^{2,2}(\mathfrak{s}_-;\mathfrak{s})$ and filtered deformations of the non-chiral flat model (Euclidean and Poincaré) superalgebra $\mathfrak{s}$ for various Dirac currents and show these arise as Killing superalgebras for (imaginary) geometric Killing and skew-Killing spinors in both Riemannian and Lorentzian signature.

Keywords: Lie superalgebra, Killing superalgebra, Killing spinor, connection, superconnection, isometry, Spencer cohomology, filtration, deformation, homogeneous.
