Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of "Supersymmetric Transformations," specifically the transformation of fields such as \(\phi\) to \(\psi\). Participants are exploring the nature of symmetry between bosons and fermions within the context of supersymmetry, seeking proofs and explanations related to these transformations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the existence of symmetry between bosons and fermions in supersymmetric transformations, suggesting a lack of symmetry.
  • Another participant references a paper that describes a simple example of a supersymmetric theory in four dimensions, indicating a potential resource for understanding the topic.
  • A participant mentions having the referenced paper but notes that it does not provide explanations for specific equations related to supersymmetric transformations.
  • Another participant asserts that the transformations are similar to previously mentioned equations, implying a relationship among them but without detailed clarification.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the symmetry aspect of supersymmetric transformations, with no consensus reached on the nature of this symmetry or the adequacy of existing explanations in the referenced paper.

Contextual Notes

There are references to specific equations and sections in the paper that may require further exploration for clarity, but the discussion does not resolve the underlying questions about the transformations.

Can anyone explain how to derivate "Supersymmetric Transformations" like [tex]\phi\rightarrow\psi[/tex]??

It seems to me that there's no symmetry at all between bosons and fermions.
Can anybody know any proofs??

I've got that paper already but there's no explanation for supersymmetric transformations for equations (3.34) - (3.36).
 
They are the same as (3.3), (3.5), (3.15), just with many [tex](\phi,\psi)[/tex] pairs.
