Quantum Affine Symmetry as Generalized Supersymmetry
The quantum affine $\CU_q (\hat{sl(2)}) $ symmetry is studied when $q^2$ is an even root of unity. The structure of this algebra allows a natural generalization of N=2 supersymmetry algebra. In particular it is found that the momentum operators $P ,\bar{P}$, and thus the Hamiltonian, can be written as generalized multi...

Critical Exponents of the Chiral Potts Model from Conformal Field Theory
The $Z_N$-invariant chiral Potts model is considered as a perturbation of a $Z_N$ conformal field theory. In the self-dual case the renormalization group equations become simple, and yield critical exponents and anisotropic scaling which agree with exact results for the super-integrable lattice models. Although the con...

Green-Schwarz Formulation of Self-Dual Superstring
The self-dual superstring has been described previously in a Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond formulation with local N=2 or 4 world-sheet supersymmetry. We present a Green-Schwarz-type formulation, with manifest spacetime supersymmetry.

How the Little Group Constrains Massless Field Representations in Higher Even Dimensions
