Abstract

In an earlier paper we gave the complete group-theoretical classification of BPS states of the N-extended D = 4 conformal superalgebras su(2, 2/N), but not all interesting cases were given in detail. In the present paper we spell out the interesting case of 1/N-BPS and possibly protected states.
