In 1+1 dimensions the N=1 supersymmetry algebra (also known as $mathcal\{N\}=(1,1)$ because we have one left-moving SUSY generator and one right moving one) has the following generators:

supersymmetric charges: $Q,\; bar\{Q\}$

supersymmetric central charge: $Z,$

time translation generator: $H,$

space translation generator: $P,$

boost generator: $N,$

fermionic parity: $Gamma,$

unit element: $I,$

The following relations are satisfied by the generators:

$begin\{align\}$

& { Gamma,Gamma } =2I && { Gamma, Q } =0 && { Gamma, bar{Q} } =0 &{ Q,bar{Q} }=2Z && { Q, Q }=2(H+P) && { bar{Q}, bar{Q} } =2(H-P) & [N,Q]=frac{1}{2} Q && [N,bar{Q} ]=-frac{1}{2} bar{Q} && [N,Gamma]=0 & [N,H+P]=H+P && [N,H-P]=-(H-P) && end{align}

$Z,$ is a central element.

The supersymmetry algebra admits a $mathbb\{Z\}\_2$-grading. The generators $H,\; P,\; N,\; Z,\; I,$ are even (degree 0), the generators $Q,\; bar\{Q\},\; Gamma,$ are odd (degree 1).

2(H-P) gives the left-moving momentum and 2(H+P) the right-moving momentum.

Basic representations of this algebra are the vacuum, kink and boson-fermion representations, which are relevant e.g. to the supersymmetric (quantum) sine-Gordon model.
