Abstract EN
We exploit the beauty and strength of the symmetry invariant restrictions on the (anti)chiral superfields to derive the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST), anti-BRST, and (anti-)co-BRST symmetry transformations in the case of a two (1+1)-dimensional (2D) self-dual chiral bosonic field theory within the framework of augmented (anti)chiral superfield formalism.
Our 2D ordinary theory is generalized onto a (2,2)-dimensional supermanifold which is parameterized by the superspace variable ZM=xμ,θ,θ¯, where xμ (with μ=0,1) are the ordinary 2D bosonic coordinates and (θ,θ¯) are a pair of Grassmannian variables with their standard relationships: θ2=θ¯2=0, θθ¯+θ¯θ=0.
We impose the (anti-)BRST and (anti-)co-BRST invariant restrictions on the (anti)chiral superfields (defined on the (anti)chiral (2,1)-dimensional supersubmanifolds of the above general (2,2)-dimensional supermanifold) to derive the above nilpotent symmetries.
We do not exploit the mathematical strength of the (dual-)horizontality conditions anywhere in our present investigation.
We also discuss the properties of nilpotency, absolute anticommutativity, and (anti-)BRST and (anti-)co-BRST symmetry invariance of the Lagrangian density within the framework of our augmented (anti)chiral superfield formalism.
Our observation of the absolute anticommutativity property is a completely novel result in view of the fact that we have considered only the (anti)chiral superfields in our present endeavor.
