$ \mathcal{N} = 2 $ double graded supersymmetric quantum mechanics via dimensional reduction

Abstract

<abstract><p>We presented a novel $ \mathcal{N} = 2 $ $ \mathbb{Z}_2^2 $-graded supersymmetric quantum mechanics ($ {\mathbb{Z}_2^2} $-SQM) which has different features from those introduced so far. It is a two-dimensional (two-particle) system and was the first example of the quantum mechanical realization of an eight-dimensional irreducible representation (irrep) of the $ \mathcal{N} = 2 $ $ \mathbb{Z}_2^2 $-supersymmetry algebra. The $ {\mathbb{Z}_2^2} $-SQM was obtained by quantizing the one-dimensional classical system derived by dimensional reduction from the two-dimensional $ {\mathbb{Z}_2^2} $-supersymmetric Lagrangian of $ \mathcal{N} = 1 $, which we constructed in our previous work. The ground states of the $ {\mathbb{Z}_2^2} $-SQM were also investigated.</p></abstract>
