Abstract

The Kac formula for superconformal dimensions (generalized to N = 2) is further developed (compared to a previous article). A list of discrete values of the central charge for which unitary representations are expected to exist is proposed. For several of these, unitarity is checked by computer. For two values, unitarity is proven by providing explicit fermionic representations. For one of those values, the N = 2 theory coincides with a sub theory of one of the known unitary N = 1 theories, thus extending a similar situation between N = 0 and N = 1.
