摘要
Certain particle mechanics actions can be interpreted as Wess-Zumino terms. Two new examples are the non-relativistic spin- 1 2 particle and the relativistic (1 + 1)-dimensional massive superparticle. We show that their actions can be derived systematically from the non-linear realisation of the super-galilean and super-Poincaré groups, respectively, by taking into account the central charge in the algebra. In both cases the action is the lowest component of a Goldstone superfield conjugate to the central charge. © 1990.
