Superconformal primary fields on a graded Riemann sphere [PDF]

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2004
Primary superfields for a two-dimensional Euclidean superconformal field theory are constructed as sections of a sheaf over a graded Riemann sphere. The transformation law is found to be the same as that of an O(N) extended primary field. The construction is then applied to the N=3 Neveu–Schwarz case. Various quantities in the N=3 theory are calculated,
