Abstract

We show how to consistently renormalize N=1\mathcal{N} = 1 and N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 super-Yang-Mills theories in flat space with a local (i.e. space-time-dependent) renormalization scale in a holomorphic scheme. The action gets enhanced by a term proportional to derivatives of the holomorphic coupling. In the N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 case, this new action is exact at all orders in perturbation theory.
