Haploid (2,2)-Superfields In 2-Dimensional Spacetime

Abstract

Superfields in 2-dimensional (2,2)-superspacetime which are independent of (some) half of the fermionic coordinates are discussed in a hopefully both comprehensive and comprehensible manner. An embarrassing abundance of these simplest `building blocks' makes it utterly impossible to write down the `most general Lagrangian'. With some ad hoc but perhaps plausible restrictions, a rather general Lagrangian is found, which exhibits many of the phenomena that have been studied recently, and harbors many more. In particular, it becomes patently obvious that the (2,2)-supersymmetric 2-dimensional field theory target space geometries (many of which are suitable for (super)string propagation) are far more general than Kahler manifolds with holomorphic bundles.
