چکیده
We determine the structure of geometrical superconformal anomalies for N = 1 supersymmetric quantum field theories on curved superspace to all orders in ~. For the massless Wess-Zumino model we show how these anomalies contribute to the local Callan-Symanzik equation which expresses the breakdown of superconformal symmetry in terms of the usual β and γ functions. PACS numbers: 04.62+v, 11.10Gh, 11.10Hi, 11.30Pb.

Superconformal Ward Identities for Green Functions with Multiple Supercurrent Insertions
Superconformal Ward identities for N=1 supersymmetric quantum field theories in four dimensions are convenienty obtained in the superfield formalism by combining diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations on curved superspace. Using this approach we study the superconformal transformation properties of Green functions with one or more insertions of the supercurrent to all orders in perturbation t...
متن کامل/ 068 Superconformal 6 D ( 2 , 0 ) theories in superspace
A geometrical construction of superconformal transformations in six dimensional (2,0) superspace is proposed. Superconformal Killing vectors are determined. It is shown that the transformation of the tensor multiplet involves a zero curvature non-trivial cochain.
متن کاملSuperconformal constraints for QCD conformal anomalies
Anomalous superconformal Ward identities and commutator algebra in N = 1 super-Yang-Mills theory give rise to constraints between the QCD special conformal anomalies of conformal composite operators. We evaluate the superconformal anomalies that appear in the product of renormalized conformal operators and the trace anomaly in the supersymmetric spinor current and check the constraints at one-l...
متن کاملSuperconformal Symmetries and Models
We discuss the following aspects of two-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric theories defined on compact super Riemann surfaces: parametrization of (2, 0) and (2, 2) superconformal structures in terms of Beltrami coefficients and formulation of superconformal models on such surfaces (invariant actions, anomalies and compensating actions, Ward identities).
متن کاملSuper Weyl Anomalies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Anomalies of N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories coupled to a conformal supergravity background in two dimensions are computed by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that Weyl, axial gauge and super Weyl transformations are anomalous, while general coordinate, local Lorentz, vector gauge and local super transformations are not. The coefficients of the anomalies show that the supercon...
