Abstract

We consider mixed three-point correlation functions of the supercurrent and flavour current in three-dimensional 1N41 \leq \mathcal{N} \leq 4 superconformal field theories. Our method is based on the decomposition of the relevant tensors into irreducible components to guarantee that all possible tensor structures are systematically taken into account. We show that only parity even structures appear in the correlation functions. In addition to the previous results obtained in arXiv:1503.04961, it follows that supersymmetry forbids parity odd structures in three-point functions involving the supercurrent and flavour current multiplets.
