    Remark on the Consistent Gauge Anomaly in Supersymmetric Theories

    by Yoshihisa Ohshima, Kiyoshi Okuyama, Hiroshi Suzuki, Hirofumi Yasuta

    We present a direct field theoretical calculation of the consistent gauge anomaly in the superfield formalism, on the basis of a definition of the effective action through the covariant gauge current. The scheme is conceptually and technically simple and the gauge covariance in intermediate steps reduces calculational labors considerably. The resultant superfield anomaly, being proportional to the anomaly $d^{abc}=\tr T^a\{T^b,T^c\}$, is minimal without supplementing any counterterms. Our anomaly coincides with the anomaly obtained by Marinkovi\'c as the solution of the Wess-Zumino consistency condition.

    Invariant Regularization of Supersymmetric Chiral Gauge Theory. II

    by Takuya Hayashi, Yoshihisa Ohshima, Kiyoshi Okuyama, Hiroshi Suzuki

    By undertaking additional analyses postponed in a previous paper, we complete our construction of a manifestly supersymmetric gauge-covariant regularization of supersymmetric chiral gauge theories. We present the following: An evaluation of the covariant gauge anomaly; a proof of the integrability of the covariant gauge current in anomaly-free cases; a calculation of a one-loop superconformal anomaly in the gauge supermultiplet sector. On the last point, we find that the ghost-anti-ghost supermultiplet and the Nakanishi-Lautrup supermultiplet give rise to BRST exact contributions which, due to ``tree-level'' Slavnov-Taylor identities in our regularization scheme, can safely be neglected, at least at the one-loop level.

    Invariant Regularization of Supersymmetric Chiral Gauge Theory

    by Takuya Hayashi, Yoshihisa Ohshima, Kiyoshi Okuyama, Hiroshi Suzuki

    We formulate a manifestly supersymmetric gauge covariant regularization of supersymmetric chiral gauge theories. In our scheme, the effective action in the superfield background field method above one-loop is always supersymmetric and gauge invariant. The gauge anomaly has a covariant form and can emerge only in one-loop diagrams with all the external lines being the background gauge superfield. We also present several illustrative applications in the one-loop approximation: the self-energy part of the chiral multiplet and of the gauge multiplet; the super-chiral anomaly and the superconformal anomaly; as the corresponding anomalous commutators, the Konishi anomaly and an anomalous supersymmetric transformation law of the supercurrent (the ``central extension'' of N=1 supersymmetry algebra) and of the R-current.
