<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>(Super)conformal mechanics in one dimension is induced by parabolic or hyperbolic/trigonometric transformations, either homogeneous (for a scaling dimension $\lambda$) or inhomogeneous (at $\lambda=0$, with $\rho$ an inhomogeneity parameter). Four types of inequivalent (super)conformal actions are thus obtained. With the exclusion of the homogeneous parabolic case, dimensional constants are present. \par Both the inhomogeneity and the insertion of $\lambda$ generalize the construction of Papadopoulos [CQG 30 (2013) 075018; arXiv:1210.1719].\par Inhomogeneous $D$-module reps are presented for the $d=1$ superconformal algebras $osp(1|2)$, $sl(2|1)$, $B(1,1)$ and $A(1,1)$. For centerless superVirasoro algebras $D$-module reps are presented (in the homogeneous case for ${\cal N}=1,2,3,4$; in the inhomogeneous case for ${\cal N}=1,2,3$).\par The four types of $d=1$ superconformal actions are derived for ${\cal N}=1,2,4$ systems. When ${\cal N}=4$, the homogeneously-induced actions are $D(2,1;\alpha)$-invariant ($\alpha$ is critically linked to $\lambda$); the inhomogeneously-induced actions are $A(1,1)$-invariant.\par In $d=2$, for a single bosonic field, the homogeneous transformations induce a conformally invariant power-law action, while the inhomogeneous transformations induce the conformally invariant Liouville action.</dd>
