Fractional supersymmetry

Fractional supersymmetry

In theoretical physics, fractional supersymmetry is a generalization of the notion of supersymmetry in which the minimal positive amount of spin does not have to be 1/2 but can be an arbitrary 1/N for integer value of "N". Such a generalization is possible in two or less spacetime dimensions.
