摘要
Adinkras are graphical tools created to study representations of supersymmetry algebras. Besides having inherent interest for physicists, the study of adinkras has already shown non-trivial connections with coding theory and Clifford algebras. Furthermore, adinkras offer many easy-to-state and accessible mathematical problems of algebraic, combinatorial, and computational nature. We survey these topics for a mathematical audience, make new connections to other areas (homological algebra and poset theory), and solve some of these said problems, including the enumeration of all hyper-cube adinkras up through dimension 5 and the enumeration of odd dashings of adinkras for any dimension.
