Correlation functions of spinor current multiplets in ${\mathcal N}=1$ superconformal theory
Abstract
We consider superconformal field theories in four dimensions possessing an additional conserved spinor current multiplet and study three-point functions involving such an operator. A conserved spinor current multiplet naturally exists in superconformal theories with supersymmetry and contains the current of the second supersymmetry. However, we do not assume supersymmetry. We show that the three-point function of two spinor current multiplets and the supercurrent depends on three independent tensor structures and, in general, is not contained in the three-point function of the supercurrent. It then follows, based on symmetry considerations only, that the existence of one more Grassmann odd current multiplet in superconformal field theory does not necessarily imply superconformal symmetry.
