Comments on N=(2,2) Supersymmetry on Two-Manifolds (1404.2636v3)

Published 9 Apr 2014 in hep-th

Abstract: We study curved-space rigid supersymmetry for two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric fields theories with a vector-like $R$-symmetry by coupling such theories to background supergravity. The associated Killing spinors can be viewed as holomorphic sections of particular complex line bundles over Euclidean space-time, which severely restrict the allowed supersymmetric couplings on compact orientable Riemann surfaces without boundaries. For genus $g>1$, the only consistent non-singular couplings are the ones dictated by the topological $A$-twist. On spaces with $S2$ topology, there exist additional supersymmetric backgrounds with $m=0$ or $\pm 1$ unit of flux for the $R$-symmetry gauge field. The $m=-1$ case includes the $\Omega$-background on the sphere. We also systematically work out the curved-space supersymmetry multiplets and supersymmetric Lagrangians.
