Abstract

We discuss several PT-symmetric deformations of superderivatives. Based on these various possibilities, we propose new families of complex PT-symmetric deformations of the supersymmetric Korteweg–de Vries equation. Some of these new models are mere fermionic extensions of the former in the sense that they are formulated in terms of superspace-valued superfields containing bosonic and fermionic fields, breaking however the supersymmetry invariance. Nonetheless, we also find extensions, which may be viewed as new supersymmetric Korteweg–de Vries equation. Moreover, we show that these deformations allow for a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian formulation.
