We study a supersymmetric theory twisted on a K\"ahler four manifold $M=\Sigma_1 \times \Sigma_2 ,$ where $\Sigma_{1,2}$ are 2D Riemann surfaces. We demonstrate that it possesses a "left-moving" conformal stress tensor on $\Sigma_1$…
We present a superfield formulation of the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) of Malikov-Schechtman-Vaintrob in the setting of a general smooth manifold, and use it to endow CDR with superconformal structures of geometric origin. Given a…
A vertex algebra is an algebraic counterpart of a two-dimensional conformal field theory. We give a new definition of a vertex algebra which includes chiral algebras as a special case, but allows for fields which are neither meromorphic nor…
In addition to superconformal symmetry, (1,1) supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma models on special holonomy manifolds have extra symmetries that are in one-to-one correspondence with the covariantly constant forms on these manifolds. The…
This paper provides a further step in our program of studying superconformal nets over S^1 from the point of view of noncommutative geometry. For any such net A and any family Delta of localized endomorphisms of the even part A^gamma of A,…
As an analogy of superalgebra of multivector fields with the Schounte bracket, we introduce a non-trivial superbracket on differential forms of manifold. We show properties of this new superalgebra. We extend this superalgebra by adding one…
We construct a class of extended operators in the cohomology of a pair of twisted Schur supercharges of 4d N=2 SCFTs. The extended operators are constructed from the local operators in this cohomology -- the Schur operators -- by a version…
We demonstrate that a supersymmetric theory twisted on a K\"ahler four manifold $M=\Sigma_1 \times \Sigma_2 ,$ where $\Sigma_{1,2}$ are 2D Riemann surfaces, possesses a "left-moving" conformal stress tensor on $\Sigma_1$ ($\Sigma_2$) in the…

We give examples of cohomologies of the superconformal algebra, relevant to computations in the AdS supergravity. Our main examples are deformations of $AdS_5\times S^5$ transforming in finite-dimensional representations of the…
By conformally coupling vector and hyper multiplets in Minkowski space, we obtain a class of field theories with extended rigid conformal supersymmetry on any Lorentzian four-manifold admitting twistor spinors. We construct the conformal…
We investigate the supersymmetric versions of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs or, equivalently, conformal Carroll symmetry in boundary dimensions $d>3$, with applications of flat space holography in mind. We identify the contraction of the relativistic…
A geometrical study of supergravity defined on (1|1) complex superspace is presented. This approach is based on the introduction of generalized superprojective structures extending the notions of super Riemann geometry to a kind of super…
Starting from vector fields that preserve a differential form on a Riemann sphere with Grassmann variables, one can construct a Superconformal Algebra by considering central extensions of the algebra of vector fields. In this note, the N=4…
This paper is devoted to a study of geometric structures expressible in terms of graded symplectic supermanifolds. We extend the classical BRST formalism to arbitrary pseudo-Euclidean vector bundles (E\to M_{0}) by canonically associating…
We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$ with its application to the perturbative deformed holomorphic symplectic structure in the A-model, and a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundaries in the B-model. We show that equivalent…
