Abstract
In this brief review, we comment on the concept of shape invariant potentials, which is an essential feature in many settings of N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics. To motivate its application within supersymmetric quantum cosmology, we present a case study to illustrate the value of this promising tool. Concretely, we take a spatially flat FRW model in the presence of a single scalar field, minimally coupled to gravity. Then, we extract the associated Schrödinger–Wheeler–DeWitt equation, allowing for a particular scope of factor ordering. Subsequently, we compute the corresponding supersymmetric partner Hamiltonians, H1 and H2. Moreover, we point out how the shape invariance property can be employed to bring a relation among several factor orderings choices for our Schrödinger–Wheeler–DeWitt equation. The ground state is retrieved, and the excited states easily written. Finally, the Hamiltonians, H1 and H2, are explicitly presented within a N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics framework.
