SymTFT in Superspace
Abstract
We propose a manifestly supersymmetric formulation of the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SuSymTFT) for theories with supersymmetry. The SymTFT is a framework that helps organizing symmetries and anomalies of a QFT. Albeit a lot of activity in the field has been devoted to the construction of the SymTFT for the bosonic symmetry structure, the fermionic case has not been analyzed in detail. Here, we consider the most prominent example of theories exhibiting fermionic symmetries, that is supersymmetric models. These are most naturally formulated on supermanifolds, where the supergeometry approach allows for a manifest organization of the symmetries according to their fermionic grading. We provide the general construction of the SuSymTFT as a super-BF theory living in a (n|m)-dimensional supermanifold and check our proposal in two particular examples, the compact and the chiral super-bosons in two dimensions.
