SUSY N=1 chiral sector: index, configuration, and conjugation data

i. Overview

This file fixes the data that indexes the scalars of the N=1 chiral sector, makes their contractions type-safe, and equips them with conjugation.

A single finite type `ι` indexes the chiral scalars (written `ChiralIndexingType` in signatures) — the only index type. Variance (upper versus lower) and holomorphy (a scalar versus its complex conjugate) are not separate index types but the two axes of a four-element type `ChiralColor`, the product of `chiral`/`anti` with `up`/`down`. Each axis is realized as a genuine carrier distinction, not a label: variance as a module versus its dual (`ι → ℂ` versus `Module.Dual ℂ (ι → ℂ)`), holomorphy as a module versus its complex conjugate (`ConjModule`, where `i` acts as `−i`).

The dual-colour involution `τ` flips variance and preserves holomorphy. Two indices may contract exactly when their colours are `τ`-related, so a holomorphic index pairs only with a holomorphic index of the opposite variance, and a conjugate ("barred") index only with a conjugate index of the opposite variance. This is the discipline that makes the F-term contraction `g^{IJ̄} D_I W D̄_J̄ W̄` type-check.

The physical field content is the configuration `ChiralScalarConfiguration ι = ι → ℂ`, carrying `2 · Fintype.card ι` real degrees of freedom. The anti-chiral scalars are the complex conjugates of this data, never an independent configuration.

The index data is packaged as a `ConjTensorSpecies` over `ChiralColor`, each colour carrying its distinct carrier from above. Complex conjugation is the conjugate-linear identity `conjEquiv : M ≃ₛₗ[starRingEnd ℂ] ConjModule M` on each carrier (anti basis `Basis.conj`); the species' holomorphy flip (`conjEquiv`, hence `conjT`) is built from it. Every colour carries the trivial representation over the trivial group `Unit`, so the chiral scalars hold no charge. Contracting a colour against its `τ`-dual is the dot product of the two coordinate vectors, the Kronecker `δ_{IJ}` on basis labels: `contr` is that pairing `V c ⊗ V (τ c) → ℂ`, `unit` its cap in `V (τ c) ⊗ V c`, and `metric` the cap `∑_I b_I ⊗ b_I` in `V c ⊗ V c`. This instance equips the chiral sector with the framework's generic tensor API (`.Tensor`, `.contrT`, …).

Conjugation is intrinsic species data: a `ConjTensorSpecies` is a `TensorSpecies` extended with the conjugate-colour involution `ChiralColor.bar` and its coherence. The framework then supplies the map `conjT` (conjugate the components and flip each index's holomorphy by `bar`) and its laws. `bar` is the holomorphy dual, distinct from and commuting with the variance dual `τ`; it is not used in contraction.

Conjugation enters wherever reality does. It is what lets one state that the Kähler metric is Hermitian (`conjT g` equals `g` with its two indices swapped), that the anti-chiral sector is the complex conjugate of the chiral one (`D̄_J̄ W̄ = conjT (D_I W)`), and hence that the F-term `g^{IJ̄} D_I W D̄_J̄ W̄` is real. The species can express none of these alone.

ii. Key results

- `SUSY.N1.ChiralScalarConfiguration` : the scalar configuration space `ι → ℂ`, where `ι` is the finite type indexing the chiral scalars. This is the only field data in the sector. - `SUSY.N1.ChiralColor` : the four colours `chiral`/`anti` × `up`/`down`, with the dual-colour involution `ChiralColor.tau`. - `SUSY.N1.chiralTensor` : the `ConjTensorSpecies` assembled from the above, whose `τ`-discipline makes the F-term contraction type-safe and whose `bar` carries the chiral-antichiral conjugation in which reality and Hermiticity conditions are phrased.

A. The chiral scalar configuration

B. The chiral colours and the dual involution

C. Carrier, representation, and basis

A `TensorSpecies` takes, for each colour `c`, a carrier module, a group representation on it, and a basis. The carrier depends on *both* axes: variance gives the vector/dual distinction (`ι → ℂ` versus `Module.Dual ℂ (ι → ℂ)`) and holomorphy the conjugate-module distinction (`ConjModule …`, where `i` acts as `−i`), so all four colours have distinct carriers. The representation is trivial over the trivial group `Unit` (no charge) for every colour; each basis is indexed by `ι` — `piBasis`, its dual `piBasis.dualBasis`, and the `Basis.conj` of each. Variance (`τ`) sends a carrier to its dual; conjugation (`bar`) sends it to its conjugate module.

D. The δ structure on based finite modules

The contraction, unit, and metric are one δ structure in basis coordinates. Here `metric` is the `TensorSpecies` field of that name — the δ index-raising tensor `δ^{IJ}` — and is *not* the physical Kähler metric `g_{IJ̄}`, which is built downstream on top of this sector. A contraction pairs a colour with its variance dual `τ c`, whose carriers are *distinct* (a module and its dual, or their conjugates) but share the index `ι`, so the pairing is the dot product *across two based modules* `(M, b)` and `(N, b')`, `(x, y) ↦ ∑_I (b x)_I (b' y)_I`, with cap `∑_I b_I ⊗ b'_I ∈ M ⊗ N`. The single-colour cap `deltaCap` (`b = b'`) is what `metric c` uses, since its two slots are the same colour; the two-module pairing `deltaContr₂`/`deltaCap₂` is what `contr` and `unit` use. The δ data stays within one holomorphy and needs no conjugation; conjugation is carried instead by the tensor `conjT` (§F).

E. The chiral-index tensor species

F. Conjugation

Reality is a physical input the bare species cannot express: that the anti-chiral fields are the complex conjugates of the chiral ones, that the Kähler metric is Hermitian, that the F-term potential is real. Each is a statement that some quantity equals its own conjugate, so it can only be phrased once conjugation is available. This section exposes that operation for the two shapes the sector actually conjugates — the scalar `W` and the holomorphic covector `D_I W` — and certifies on components that it is honest complex conjugation.

Conjugation is bundled into `chiralTensor` itself (§E): as a `ConjTensorSpecies` it carries `bar` beside `τ`, and the framework supplies the conjugation map `conjT` and its laws (`conjT_smul`, `conjT_conjT`, `conjT_contrT`, `conjT_eq_permT_iff`) once, abstractly, against any `ConjTensorSpecies`. The chiral sector's conjugation flips holomorphy (`ChiralColor.bar`) while preserving variance, and through `chiralTensor.conjT` the reality and Hermiticity conditions are phrased. The basis index type `ι` is the same for every colour, so the identification `barIdx_eq` is `rfl` and the component reindexing is the identity.

The following normalize the output of `(chiralTensor (ι := ι)).conjT` back to the canonical colour lists for scalar and anti-holomorphic covector tensors respectively.

Chiral scalar configuration ιC\iota \to \mathbb{C}

Given a type ι\iota representing the indices of chiral scalars, a **chiral scalar configuration** is defined as the space of functions ιC\iota \to \mathbb{C}. This configuration assigns a complex value to each chiral label and represents the physical field data of the sector.

inductive

The four-element set of index colors ChiralColor\text{ChiralColor}

The inductive type ChiralColor\text{ChiralColor} represents the four possible states for an index in the N=1N=1 chiral sector. It is defined as the product of two axes: 1. **Holomorphy**: Distinguishes between chiral (holomorphic) and anti-chiral (anti-holomorphic/complex conjugate) components. 2. **Variance**: Distinguishes between "up" (contravariant) and "down" (covariant) indices, representing the distinction between a module and its dual. Together, these axes allow a single index type ι\iota to label the physical scalar fields and their conjugates across different tensor configurations.

instance

Equality on ChiralColor\text{ChiralColor} is decidable

The equality of index colors in the set ChiralColor\text{ChiralColor} is decidable. This means that for any two colors c1,c2ChiralColorc_1, c_2 \in \text{ChiralColor}, there is an algorithmic procedure to determine whether c1=c2c_1 = c_2 or c1c2c_1 \neq c_2.

definition

The dual-color involution τ\tau on ChiralColor\text{ChiralColor}

The dual-color involution τ:ChiralColorChiralColor\tau: \text{ChiralColor} \to \text{ChiralColor} maps an index color to its variance dual while preserving its holomorphy. Specifically, it swaps "up" (contravariant) and "down" (covariant) labels as follows: \begin{itemize} \item τ(chiralUp)=chiralDown\tau(\text{chiralUp}) = \text{chiralDown} \item τ(chiralDown)=chiralUp\tau(\text{chiralDown}) = \text{chiralUp} \item τ(antiUp)=antiDown\tau(\text{antiUp}) = \text{antiDown} \item τ(antiDown)=antiUp\tau(\text{antiDown}) = \text{antiUp} \end{itemize} In the N=1N=1 chiral sector, two indices are eligible for contraction if and only if their colors are τ\tau-related, ensuring that a holomorphic vector index VIV^I pairs only with a holomorphic dual index VIV_I, and similarly for anti-holomorphic indices.

definition

Complex conjugation bar\text{bar} of a ChiralColor\text{ChiralColor}

The function bar:ChiralColorChiralColor\text{bar} : \text{ChiralColor} \to \text{ChiralColor} defines the complex conjugation operation on the index colors of the N=1N=1 chiral sector. It interchanges the holomorphy states (mapping "chiral" to "anti" and vice versa) while preserving the variance of the index ("up" or "down"). Specifically, the mapping is defined as follows: - bar(chiralUp)=antiUp\text{bar}(\text{chiralUp}) = \text{antiUp} - bar(antiUp)=chiralUp\text{bar}(\text{antiUp}) = \text{chiralUp} - bar(chiralDown)=antiDown\text{bar}(\text{chiralDown}) = \text{antiDown} - bar(antiDown)=chiralDown\text{bar}(\text{antiDown}) = \text{chiralDown}

theorem

bar(bar(c))=c\text{bar}(\text{bar}(c)) = c for all cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor}

For any index color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor} in the N=1N=1 chiral sector, the complex conjugation operation bar\text{bar} is an involution, meaning that applying it twice returns the original color: bar(bar(c))=c\text{bar}(\text{bar}(c)) = c.

theorem

Complex Conjugation and Dual-Color Involution Commute (barτ=τbar\text{bar} \circ \tau = \tau \circ \text{bar})

For any index color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor} in the N=1N=1 chiral sector, the complex conjugation operation bar\text{bar} and the dual-color involution τ\tau commute. That is, bar(τ(c))=τ(bar(c))\text{bar}(\tau(c)) = \tau(\text{bar}(c)) where bar\text{bar} inter-converts chiral and anti-chiral labels while preserving variance, and τ\tau inter-converts up and down labels while preserving holomorphy.

abbrev

Carrier module for index color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor}

For a finite set ι\iota indexing the chiral fields, let V=CιV = \mathbb{C}^\iota be the space of complex-valued functions on ι\iota. The function chiralModule\text{chiralModule} assigns to each color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor} a corresponding carrier module (a complex vector space) according to its holomorphy and variance: - If c=chiralUpc = \text{chiralUp}, the module is VV. - If c=chiralDownc = \text{chiralDown}, the module is the dual space V=HomC(V,C)V^* = \text{Hom}_{\mathbb{C}}(V, \mathbb{C}). - If c=antiUpc = \text{antiUp}, the module is the conjugate module ConjModule V\text{ConjModule } V, where scalar multiplication zvz \cdot v is defined as zˉv\bar{z} v. - If c=antiDownc = \text{antiDown}, the module is the conjugate of the dual space ConjModule (V)\text{ConjModule } (V^*).

instance

Additive commutative group structure for each carrier module chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c)

For each color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor}, the corresponding carrier module chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c)—which represents the space of chiral scalars V=CιV = \mathbb{C}^\iota, its dual space VV^*, or their respective complex conjugate modules—is equipped with an additive commutative group structure.

instance

C\mathbb{C}-module structure on chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c)

For each index color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor}, the corresponding carrier space chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c) is equipped with a C\mathbb{C}-module structure. This provides a complex vector space structure for all four possible index types: the chiral vector space Cι\mathbb{C}^\iota, its dual space (Cι)(\mathbb{C}^\iota)^*, and their respective complex conjugate modules.

definition

chiralRep(c)\text{chiralRep}(c) is the trivial representation of Unit\text{Unit} on chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c)

For each color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor}, the function chiralRep(c)\text{chiralRep}(c) defines the trivial representation of the trivial group Unit\text{Unit} on the corresponding complex carrier module chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c). This implies that the chiral scalar fields carry no charge under this group action.

definition

Standard basis for ιC\iota \to \mathbb{C}

Given a finite indexing type ι\iota, the standard basis for the space of functions ιC\iota \to \mathbb{C} is the collection of indicator functions {ei}iι\{e_i\}_{i \in \iota}, where ei(j)=δije_i(j) = \delta_{ij} for jιj \in \iota. In the context of the N=1N=1 supersymmetric chiral sector, this basis represents the standard basis for the vector carrier ιC\iota \to \mathbb{C} (the "chiral up" indices) and serves as the reference basis for the δ\delta pairing and tensor contractions.

definition

Standard bases for the chiral carrier modules chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c)

For each color cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor}, the function chiralBasis(c)\text{chiralBasis}(c) defines a basis indexed by the finite set ι\iota for the corresponding carrier module chiralModule(c)\text{chiralModule}(c). Let V=CιV = \mathbb{C}^\iota be the space of complex-valued functions on ι\iota with its standard basis {ei}iι\{e_i\}_{i \in \iota} (where ei(j)=δije_i(j) = \delta_{ij}), and let V=HomC(V,C)V^* = \text{Hom}_\mathbb{C}(V, \mathbb{C}) be its dual space with the dual basis {ei}iι\{e^i\}_{i \in \iota}. The basis is assigned as follows: - For c=chiralUpc = \text{chiralUp}, the basis is the standard basis {ei}\{e_i\} of the holomorphic vector space VV. - For c=chiralDownc = \text{chiralDown}, the basis is the dual basis {ei}\{e^i\} of the holomorphic covector space VV^*. - For c=antiUpc = \text{antiUp}, the basis is the conjugate basis {eˉi}\{\bar{e}_i\} of the anti-holomorphic vector space (the conjugate module ConjModule V\text{ConjModule } V). - For c=antiDownc = \text{antiDown}, the basis is the conjugate of the dual basis {eˉi}\{\bar{e}^i\} of the anti-holomorphic covector space (the conjugate module ConjModule V\text{ConjModule } V^*).

definition

The δ\delta cap tensor IbIbI\sum_I b_I \otimes b_I

Given a complex module MM with a basis bb indexed by a finite type ι\iota, the δ\delta cap is the rank-2 tensor in MCMM \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} M defined by the sum IιbIbI\sum_{I \in \iota} b_I \otimes b_I. This element represents a tensor with components δIJ\delta^{IJ} in the basis bb, serving as an inverse-metric or "cap" for index contraction.

definition

δ\delta-bilinear pairing between based modules MM and NN

Given vector spaces MM and NN over C\mathbb{C} with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota} indexed by a finite set ι\iota, the function deltaBil2(b,b)\text{deltaBil}_2(b, b') is the bilinear map M×NCM \times N \to \mathbb{C} defined by the dot product of the coordinate vectors. For vectors xMx \in M and yNy \in N, the pairing is given by: (x,y)iιxiyi (x, y) \mapsto \sum_{i \in \iota} x_i y_i where xix_i and yiy_i are the coordinates of xx and yy with respect to the bases bb and bb' respectively. This is constructed by identifying bb' with bb and using the canonical isomorphism between MM and its dual space MM^* induced by the basis bb.

theorem

deltaBil2(b,b)(x,y)=iιxiyi\text{deltaBil}_2(b, b')(x, y) = \sum_{i \in \iota} x_i y_i

Let MM and NN be complex vector spaces with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota} indexed by a finite set ι\iota. For any vectors xMx \in M and yNy \in N, the δ\delta-bilinear pairing evaluated at (x,y)(x, y) is the dot product of their coordinates: deltaBil2(b,b)(x,y)=iιxiyi \text{deltaBil}_2(b, b')(x, y) = \sum_{i \in \iota} x_i y_i where xix_i and yiy_i denote the ii-th coordinates of xx and yy with respect to the bases bb and bb', respectively.

definition

δ\delta-contraction MNCM \otimes N \to \mathbb{C} for based modules

Given vector spaces MM and NN over C\mathbb{C} equipped with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota} indexed by a finite set ι\iota, the function deltaContr2(b,b)\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b') is the linear map MCNCM \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N \to \mathbb{C} that performs a δ\delta-contraction between the two modules. For any pure tensor xyMNx \otimes y \in M \otimes N, the map is defined by the dot product of their coordinate vectors: xyiιxiyi x \otimes y \mapsto \sum_{i \in \iota} x_i y_i where xix_i and yiy_i are the coordinates of xx and yy with respect to the bases bb and bb', respectively. This map is obtained by lifting the bilinear pairing deltaBil2(b,b)\text{deltaBil}_2(b, b') to the tensor product.

theorem

deltaContr2(b,b)(xy)=iιxiyi\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b')(x \otimes y) = \sum_{i \in \iota} x_i y_i

Let MM and NN be complex vector spaces equipped with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota} indexed by a finite set ι\iota. For any vectors xMx \in M and yNy \in N, the δ\delta-contraction map deltaContr2(b,b):MCNC\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b'): M \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N \to \mathbb{C} evaluated on the pure tensor xyx \otimes y is given by the dot product of their coordinates: deltaContr2(b,b)(xy)=iιxiyi \text{deltaContr}_2(b, b')(x \otimes y) = \sum_{i \in \iota} x_i y_i where xix_i and yiy_i denote the ii-th coordinates of xx and yy with respect to the bases bb and bb', respectively.

theorem

deltaContr2(xbJ)=xJ\text{deltaContr}_2(x \otimes b'_J) = x_J

Let MM and NN be vector spaces over C\mathbb{C} equipped with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota} respectively, where ι\iota is a finite indexing set. For any vector xMx \in M and any index JιJ \in \iota, the δ\delta-contraction of the pure tensor xbJx \otimes b'_J in MCNM \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N satisfies deltaContr2(b,b)(xbJ)=xJ \text{deltaContr}_2(b, b')(x \otimes b'_J) = x_J where xJx_J denotes the JJ-th coordinate of the vector xx with respect to the basis bb.

theorem

deltaContr2(b,b)(bIbJ)=δIJ\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b')(b_I \otimes b'_J) = \delta_{IJ}

Given complex vector spaces MM and NN equipped with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota} indexed by a set ι\iota, the δ\delta-contraction of the basis elements bIMb_I \in M and bJNb'_J \in N is given by the Kronecker delta: deltaContr2(b,b)(bIbJ)=δIJ\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b')(b_I \otimes b'_J) = \delta_{IJ} where δIJ\delta_{IJ} equals 11 if I=JI = J and 00 otherwise. This result expresses that the two bases are δ\delta-dual under the contraction map.

theorem

Symmetry of the two-module δ\delta-contraction under factor swapping

Let ι\iota be a finite index set. Let MM and NN be complex vector spaces equipped with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota}, respectively. For any vectors xMx \in M and yNy \in N, the δ\delta-contraction of the tensor product xyx \otimes y with respect to the pair of bases (b,b)(b, b') is equal to the δ\delta-contraction of the swapped tensor product yxy \otimes x with respect to the swapped pair of bases (b,b)(b', b): deltaContr2(b,b)(xy)=deltaContr2(b,b)(yx) \text{deltaContr}_2(b, b')(x \otimes y) = \text{deltaContr}_2(b', b)(y \otimes x) where deltaContr2\text{deltaContr}_2 is defined by the sum of the products of the components of the vectors in their respective bases.

Two-module δ\delta-cap IbIbI\sum_I b_I \otimes b'_I

Let ι\iota be a finite index set. Given a basis b={bI}Iιb = \{b_I\}_{I \in \iota} for a complex vector space MM and a basis b={bI}Iιb' = \{b'_I\}_{I \in \iota} for a complex vector space NN, the two-module δ\delta-cap is the element of the tensor product MCNM \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N defined by the sum: IιbIbI \sum_{I \in \iota} b_I \otimes b'_I where bIb_I and bIb'_I are the basis elements corresponding to the index IιI \in \iota.

The two-module δ\delta-cap is defined as the element IιbIbI\sum_{I \in \iota} b_I \otimes b'_I in the tensor product MCNM \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N. This theorem states that the image of the δ\delta-cap formed by (b,b)(b, b') under the canonical swapping isomorphism τ:MCNNCM\tau: M \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N \to N \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} M (where τ(xy)=yx\tau(x \otimes y) = y \otimes x) is the δ\delta-cap formed by the bases in reverse order (b,b)(b', b): τ(IιbIbI)=IιbIbI \tau \left( \sum_{I \in \iota} b_I \otimes b'_I \right) = \sum_{I \in \iota} b'_I \otimes b_I

theorem

Let ι\iota be a finite index set. Let MM and NN be complex vector spaces equipped with bases b={bI}Iιb = \{b_I\}_{I \in \iota} and b={bI}Iιb' = \{b'_I\}_{I \in \iota} respectively. The two-module δ\delta-cap is defined as the element IιbIbI\sum_{I \in \iota} b_I \otimes b'_I in the tensor product MCNM \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N. This theorem states that the δ\delta-cap formed by the bases in reverse order (b,b)(b', b) is equal to the image of the δ\delta-cap formed by (b,b)(b, b') under the canonical swapping isomorphism τ:MCNNCM\tau: M \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} N \to N \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} M: IιbIbI=τ(IιbIbI) \sum_{I \in \iota} b'_I \otimes b_I = \tau \left( \sum_{I \in \iota} b_I \otimes b'_I \right) where τ(xy)=yx\tau(x \otimes y) = y \otimes x.

theorem

Snake Identity: Contracting xMx \in M with the Two-Module δ\delta-Cap Returns xx

Let ι\iota be a finite index set. Let MM and NN be complex vector spaces equipped with bases b={bI}Iιb = \{b_I\}_{I \in \iota} and b={bI}Iιb' = \{b'_I\}_{I \in \iota}, respectively. Let deltaCap2(b,b)=IιbIbINM\text{deltaCap}_2(b', b) = \sum_{I \in \iota} b'_I \otimes b_I \in N \otimes M be the two-module δ\delta-cap and deltaContr2(b,b):MNC\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b') : M \otimes N \to \mathbb{C} be the δ\delta-contraction map defined by the pairing of coordinates deltaContr2(b,b)(xy)=IιxIyI\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b')(x \otimes y) = \sum_{I \in \iota} x_I y_I. For any vector xMx \in M, the snake identity holds: lid((deltaContr2(b,b)idM)(α1(xdeltaCap2(b,b))))=x \text{lid} \left( (\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b') \otimes \text{id}_M) \left( \alpha^{-1} (x \otimes \text{deltaCap}_2(b', b)) \right) \right) = x where α:(MN)MM(NM)\alpha : (M \otimes N) \otimes M \to M \otimes (N \otimes M) is the canonical associativity isomorphism and lid:CMM\text{lid} : \mathbb{C} \otimes M \to M is the left unit isomorphism cvcvc \otimes v \mapsto cv. In physical terms, this states that contracting a field xx into one leg of the δ\delta-cap returns the field xx.

theorem

Contraction of inner legs of cap(b)cap(b)\text{cap}(b) \otimes \text{cap}(b') equals cap2(b,b)\text{cap}_2(b', b)

Let ι\iota be a finite index set, and let MM and NN be complex vector spaces equipped with bases b={bi}iιb = \{b_i\}_{i \in \iota} and b={bi}iιb' = \{b'_i\}_{i \in \iota}, respectively. Consider the δ\delta-cap tensors cap(b)=iιbibiMM\text{cap}(b) = \sum_{i \in \iota} b_i \otimes b_i \in M \otimes M and cap(b)=jιbjbjNN\text{cap}(b') = \sum_{j \in \iota} b'_j \otimes b'_j \in N \otimes N. The contraction of the second leg of cap(b)\text{cap}(b) with the first leg of cap(b)\text{cap}(b') using the δ\delta-contraction map deltaContr2(b,b):MNC\text{deltaContr}_2(b, b') : M \otimes N \to \mathbb{C} (which maps bibjb_i \otimes b'_j to δij\delta_{ij}) results in the two-module δ\delta-cap in NMN \otimes M: iιbibi \sum_{i \in \iota} b'_i \otimes b_i

definition

N=1N=1 Chiral Sector Tensor Species with Conjugation

Let ι\iota be a finite index set. The `chiralTensor` is the conjugate tensor species (`ConjTensorSpecies`) for the N=1N=1 SUSY chiral sector over the field C\mathbb{C}. It organizes the vector spaces, representations, and contractions for the scalar fields and their conjugates. The structure is defined by the following components: 1. **Index Colors and Carriers**: The colors cChiralColorc \in \text{ChiralColor} represent the four combinations of holomorphy (chiral/anti-chiral) and variance (up/down). To each color cc, it assigns a carrier module Vc=chiralModule(c)V_c = \text{chiralModule}(c) (which are the spaces V=CιV = \mathbb{C}^\iota, its dual VV^*, or their complex conjugates) equipped with a basis bc=chiralBasis(c)b_c = \text{chiralBasis}(c) indexed by ι\iota. 2. **Group Action**: The symmetry group is the trivial group Unit\text{Unit}, which acts via the trivial representation on every carrier module. 3. **Contraction and Metric**: * The dual-color involution τ\tau swaps the variance (up \leftrightarrow down) while preserving holomorphy. * The contraction contrc:VcVτ(c)C\text{contr}_c : V_c \otimes V_{\tau(c)} \to \mathbb{C} is the δ\delta-pairing of the two bases: xyIιxIyIx \otimes y \mapsto \sum_{I \in \iota} x_I y_I. * The unit unitcVτ(c)Vc\text{unit}_c \in V_{\tau(c)} \otimes V_c and the metric metriccVcVc\text{metric}_c \in V_c \otimes V_c are both defined as the δ\delta-cap tensor: Iι(b)I(b)I\sum_{I \in \iota} (b)_I \otimes (b')_I. 4. **Conjugation**: The conjugation involution bar\text{bar} swaps the holomorphy (chiral \leftrightarrow anti-chiral) while preserving variance. Since all bases are indexed by the same set ι\iota, the identification between index sets of conjugated colors is the identity. The contraction maps are real in the sense that they commute with complex conjugation (star δ=δ\text{star } \delta = \delta).

definition

Conjugation of a scalar tensor tt

For a scalar tensor tt (a rank-0 tensor with an empty list of indices [][]) in the N=1N=1 chiral sector, this function computes its conjugate. It applies the general species conjugation conjT\text{conjT} and uses the identity permutation to normalize the resulting color list back to the canonical empty list. Physically, this corresponds to the complex conjugation of a scalar field.

definition

Conjugation of a holomorphic covector tt

For a finite index set ι\iota, let tt be a holomorphic covector in the N=1N=1 chiral sector, represented as a tensor of rank 1 with the color sequence [chiralDown][\text{chiralDown}]. The function `conjChiralCovector` maps tt to its conjugate anti-holomorphic covector with color sequence [antiDown][\text{antiDown}]. If tt has components tIt_I with respect to the holomorphic basis {eI}Iι\{e^I\}_{I \in \iota}, then the resulting tensor has components tˉI\bar{t}_I with respect to the conjugate basis {eˉI}Iι\{\bar{e}^I\}_{I \in \iota}.

theorem

(conjScalar t).toField=t.toField(\text{conjScalar } t).\text{toField} = \overline{t.\text{toField}}

For any rank-0 tensor (scalar) tt in the N=1N=1 SUSY chiral sector, let toField(t)C\text{toField}(t) \in \mathbb{C} be its corresponding scalar value. The scalar value of the conjugated tensor conjScalar(t)\text{conjScalar}(t) is equal to the complex conjugate of the scalar value of tt: (conjScalar t).toField=t.toField, (\text{conjScalar } t).\text{toField} = \overline{t.\text{toField}}, where the overbar denotes the complex conjugate (the `star` operation in C\mathbb{C}).

theorem

Components of conjChiralCovector(t)\text{conjChiralCovector}(t) are tI\overline{t_I}

For a finite index set ι\iota in the N=1N=1 chiral sector, let tt be a holomorphic covector (a tensor of rank 1 with color `chiralDown`). For any index IιI \in \iota, the component of the conjugate anti-holomorphic covector conjChiralCovector(t)\text{conjChiralCovector}(t) corresponding to II is the complex conjugate of the II-th component of tt: (conjChiralCovector t)I=tI (\text{conjChiralCovector } t)_I = \overline{t_I} where the components are taken with respect to the canonical bases for the respective tensor spaces.

theorem

Additivity of Chiral Covector Conjugation

For any two holomorphic covectors t1t_1 and t2t_2 in the N=1N=1 chiral sector (tensors of rank 1 with color chiralDown\text{chiralDown}), the conjugation map conjChiralCovector\text{conjChiralCovector} is additive: conjChiralCovector(t1+t2)=conjChiralCovector(t1)+conjChiralCovector(t2) \text{conjChiralCovector}(t_1 + t_2) = \text{conjChiralCovector}(t_1) + \text{conjChiralCovector}(t_2) where the resulting tensors are anti-holomorphic covectors with color antiDown\text{antiDown}.

theorem

conjChiralCovector(rt)=rˉconjChiralCovector(t)\text{conjChiralCovector}(r \cdot t) = \bar{r} \cdot \text{conjChiralCovector}(t)

For any complex scalar rCr \in \mathbb{C} and any holomorphic covector tt in the N=1N=1 chiral sector (a tensor of rank 1 with color sequence [chiralDown][\text{chiralDown}]), the conjugation operation is conjugate-linear with respect to scalar multiplication: conjChiralCovector(rt)=rˉconjChiralCovector(t)\text{conjChiralCovector}(r \cdot t) = \bar{r} \cdot \text{conjChiralCovector}(t) where rˉ\bar{r} denotes the complex conjugate of rr.
