On the representation theory of orthofermions and orthosupersymmetric realization of parasupersymmetry and fractional supersymmetry

Abstract

We construct a canonical irreducible representation for the orthofermion algebra of arbitrary order, and show that every representation decomposes into irreducible representations that are isomorphic to either the canonical representation or the trivial representation. We use these results to show that every orthosupersymmetric system of order p has a parasupersymmetry of order p and a fractional supersymmetry of order p + 1.
