Abstract

In this work we obtain known and new supersymmetric extensions of diverse asymptotic symmetries defined in three spacetime dimensions by considering the semigroup expansion method. The super-BMS3, the superconformal algebra and new infinite-dimensional superalgebras are obtained by expanding the super-Virasoro algebra. The new superalgebras obtained are supersymmetric extensions of the asymptotic algebras of the Maxwell and the so(2,2)circle plus so(2,1) gravity theories. We extend our results to the N=2 and N=4 cases and find that R-symmetry generators are required. We also show that the new infinite-dimensional structures are related through a flat limit l ->infinity.
