Algebraic operad of SUSY vertex algebra

Abstract

We introduce algebraic operads ${\mathcal{P}}^{\text{ch}{N}_W=N}$ and ${\mathcal{P}}^{\text{ch}{N}_K=N}$ encoding the structures of $N_W=N$ and $N_K=N$ SUSY vertex algebras, and study the corresponding cohomology theory. Our operad is a SUSY analogue of the operad $P^{\text{ch}}$ introduced by Bakalov, De Sole, Heluani and Kac (2019) as a purely algebraic translation of the chiral operad of Beilinson and Drinfeld.
