Talk:Supersymmetry algebras in 1 + 1 dimensions

Isn't the notation misleading??? $$\overline{Q}$$ definitely isn't the hermitian conjugate of Q, because 2(H+P) definitely isn't the hermitian conjugate of 2(H-P). Both Q and $$\overline{Q}$$ are self-conjugate. AnonyScientist (talk) 06:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

The Hermitian conjugate is not usually denoted by the overbar, the standard notation is the dagger or the star. The overbar is used to denote complex conjugation. I don't know exactly why it is used in the literature in this case, but I guess that the reason is something like the following: Q and $$\overline{Q}$$ corresponds to $$x-t$$ and $$x+t$$, which are sometimes written as $$x+i\tau$$ and $$x-i\tau$$, and the latter are complex conjugates of each other if $$x$$ and $$\tau$$ are real. The overbar for Q hints to this. Nevertheless, I don't want to say that this overbar notation is the best possible one... Rzs8750 (talk) 16:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Complete rewrite?
Comparing this article to Mirror Symmetry by Kentaro Hori et al., pages 283, 288, 289, this article seems to be plain wrong in several regards. If there are no objections I will rewrite the entire article and also cover the N=(2,2) and N=(0,2) cases based on this source.EduardoW (talk) 08:49, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
