Supersymmetry anomalies and the Wess-Zumino Model in a supergravity background

Abstract

We briefly recall the procedure for computing the Ward Identities in the presence of a regulator which violates the symmetry being considered. We compute the first non-trivial correction to the supersymmetry Ward Identity of the Wess-Zumino model in the presence of background supergravity using dimensional regularisation. We find that the result can be removed using a finite local counter term and so there is no supersymmetry anomaly.
