Conformal Transformation Properties of the B-type Supercurrent
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the superconformal transformation properties of the supercurrent as well as of the superconformal anomalies themselves in d = 4, N = 1 supersymmetric quantum field theory. Matter supercurrent and anomalies are coupled to a classical background of minimal supergravity fields. On flat superspace, there exist two different types of the superconformal Ward identity (called S and B) which correspond to the flat space limits of old resp. new minimal background supergravity fields. In the present publication we give particular importance to the new minimal case. A general formalism is set up which is then applied to the massless Wess-Zumino model. PACS numbers: 04.62+v, 04.65.+e, 11.10Gh, 11.30Pb.

Let be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on . Furthermore, the correspondence gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...
متن کاملConformal Transformation Properties of the Supercurrent in Four Dimensional Supersymmetric Theories
We investigate the superconformal transformation properties of Green functions with one or more insertions of the supercurrent in N = 1 supersymmetric quantum field theories. These Green functions are conveniently obtained by coupling the supercurrent and its trace to a classical supergravity background. We derive flat space superconformal Ward identities from diffeomorphisms and Weyl transform...
متن کاملOn conformal transformation of special curvature of Kropina metrics
An important class of Finsler metric is named Kropina metrics which is defined by Riemannian metric α and 1-form β which have many applications in physic, magnetic field and dynamic systems. In this paper, conformal transformations of χ-curvature and H-curvature of Kropina metrics are studied and the conditions that preserve this quantities are investigated. Also it is shown that in the ...
متن کاملSuperconformal Symmetry in Four-dimensions
The N = 1, d = 4 superconformal group is studied and its representations are discussed. Under superconformal transformations, left invariant derivatives and some class of superfields, including supercurrents, are shown to follow these representations. In other words, these superfields are quasi-primary by analogy with two dimensional conformal field theory. Based on these results, we find the g...
