With left Grassmann derivatives, differentiating with respect to introduces a minus sign. ConsequentlyAt fixed , the chirality condition becomes independence of . There are only two independent Grassmann variables , so the chiral-superfield component expansion terminates:Here is a complex scalar field, a Weyl spinor, and a complex auxiliary field. Its four real off-shell bosonic components, two in and two in , match the four real off-shell fermionic components. Equivalently, in ordinary coordinates the complete expansion is fixed without ambiguous contraction signs byThe exponential terminates because of the Grassmann algebra.
