$\mathcal{N}=1$ Liouville SCFT in Four Dimensions
Abstract
We construct a four supercharges Liouville superconformal field theory in four dimensions. The Liouville superfield is chiral and its lowest component is a log-correlated complex scalar whose real part carries a background charge. The action consists of a supersymmetric Paneitz operator, a background supersymmetric -curvature charge and an exponential potential. It localizes semiclassically on solutions that describe curved superspaces with a constant complex supersymmetric -curvature. The theory is non-unitary with a continuous spectrum of scaling dimensions. We study the dynamics on the supersymmetric 4-sphere, show that the classical background charge is not corrected quantum mechanically and calculate the super-Weyl anomaly. We derive an integral form for the correlation functions of vertex operators.
