Description:
We use world-line methods for pseudo-supersymmetry to construct sl (2|1)-invariant actions for the (2, 2, 0) chiral and (1, 2, 1) real supermultiplets of the twisted D -module representations of the sl (2|1) superalgebra. The derived one-dimensional topological conformal σ -models are invariant under nilpotent operators. The actions are constructed for both parabolic and hyperbolic/trigonometric realizations (with extra potential terms in the latter case). The scaling dimension λ of the supermultiplets defines a coupling constant, 2 λ + 1, the free theories being recovered at λ = − 1 2 . We also present, generalizing previous works, the D -module representations of one-dimensional superconformal algebras induced by N = ( p , q ) pseudo-supersymmetry acting on ( k , n , n − k ) supermultiplets. Besides sl (2|1), we obtain the superalgebras A (1, 1), D (2, 1; α ), D (3, 1), D (4, 1), A (2, 1) from ( p , q ) = (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 1), at given k , n and critical values of λ .
