Title: Superlinear Structures and Conformal Geometry


Abstract: Superlinear structures, or more precisely symmetric monoidal  
tensor structures, implicitly appeared in mathematics and physics long  
time ago, among others having roots dating back to Graßmann calculus  
in mathematics and the study of Fermi statistics and the Dirac  
exclusion principle in physics, later emphasised in supergravity and  
string theory.
On the other hand, conformal geometry also dates back to the 19th  
century. It emerged in physics through the study of conformal  
invariant theories. Seeking unified structures in regard of the  
Coleman-Mandula no-go-theorem, this was brought together with  
supersymmetry and lead to the concepts of superconformal symmetry  
groups and superconformal field theories.
In this lecture we first give an overview of the underlying basic  
mathematical notions of superlinearity and conformal geometry. Then we  
draw some mathematical conclusions, mainly from a representation  
theoretic perspective. Finally we discuss certain results from  
representation theory, that could be possibly relevant for some new  
relationship between the standard model and superconformal field  
theories.
