| dc.description | The construction of Neveu-Schwarz superconformal field theories for any N is given via a superfield formalism. We also review some results and definitions of superconformal manifolds and we generalise contour integration and Taylor expansion to superconformal spaces. For arbitrary N we define (uncharged) primary fields and give their infinitesimal change under superconformal transformations. This leads us to the operator product expansion of the stress-energy tensor with itself and with primary fields. In this way we derive the well-known commutation relations of the Neveu-Schwarz superconformal algebras K_N. In this context we observe that the central extension term disappears for N>=4 for the Neveu-Schwarz theories. Finally, we give the global transformation rules of primary fields under the action of the algebra generators. | |
