โฆ Synopsis
Some recently given examples of accidental degeneracies are shown to arise from an underlying supersymmetry. The appropriate dynamical supersymmetries are identified. The relevant spectrum-generating superalgebras for these supersymmetric quantum-mechamcal systems are introduced and studied.

We review the properties of supersymmetric quantum mechanics for a class of models proposed by Witten. Using both Hamiltonian and path integral formulations, we give general conditions for which supersymmetry is broken (unbroken) by quantum fluctuations. The spectrum of states is discussed, and a vi
