Non-anticommutative supersymmetric field theory and quantum shift

Abstract

Abstract Non-anticommutative Grassmann coordinates in four-dimensional twist-deformed N = 1 Euclidean superspace are decomposed into geometrical ones and quantum shift operators. This decomposition leads to the mapping from the commutative to the non-anticommutative supersymmetric field theory. We apply this mapping to the Wess–Zumino model in commutative field theory and derive the corresponding non-anticommutative Lagrangian. Based on the theory of twist deformations of Hopf algebras, we comment on the preservation of the (initial) N = 1 super-Poincare algebra and on the consequent super-Poincare invariant interpretation of the discussed model, but also provide a measure for the violation of the super-Poincare symmetry.
