On-shell closure of rigid worldsheet supersymmetry

ID: on-shell-closure-of-rigid-worldsheet-supersymmetry

For and , with constant Grassmann-odd Majorana parameters, the commutator on is the displayed translation. Set . In two dimensions times the identity, so the fermion commutator is the translation minus . The remainder vanishes on the fermion field equation. This distinguishes on-shell closure from the off-shell total-derivative invariance of the action.
