Abstract

Using the notions of gauge symmetry and gauge connection on ordinary superspaces, we derive a class of generalized supertranslation algebras in the case of N = 1, D = 2 Euclidean superspace with a U(1) gauge group. This generalizes the ordinary algebra by inclusion of some additional bosonic and fermionic operators which are interpreted as the generators of the U(1) gauge symmetry on superspace. The generalized superalgebra closes only for very particular configurations of the gauge connection superfield. This provides a unified framework for a variety of generalizations of the ordinary superalgebra such as its central extension and its noncommutative deformation found in an earlier work.
