Superconformal structures of supersymmetric free fermion vertex algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we define the shifted superconformal vector of supersymmetric charged free fermion vertex algebras, which is a 1-parameter deformation of the superconformal vector of the SUSY $bc$-$\beta \gamma$ system. Moreover, we find the corresponding shifted $N=2$ superconformal symmetry of SUSY charged free fermion vertex algebras, by using the $N_K=1$ SUSY vertex algebra formalism. Finally, in order to describe the shifted $N=2$ superconformal symmetry of the SUSY charged free fermion vertex algebra by $N=2$ superfields, we construct an $N_K=2$ SUSY version of the $bc$-$\beta \gamma$ system.
