For the stated two-dimensional N=(2,2) supersymmetry conventions, define the supersymmetric covariant derivatives
The terms in which a Grassmann derivative hits the explicit Grassmann coordinate cancel the spacetime-derivative terms, while derivatives involving different signs act on independent coordinates. Therefore
The twisted chiral superfield constraints are solved by the twisted chiral coordinates
The superfield depends only on and has the finite Grassmann variable expansion
where every component on the right is evaluated at ; numerical factors may be absorbed into the component definitions.
For one chiral superfield and one twisted chiral superfield , the most general local two-derivative supersymmetric action is
Here is real, is a holomorphic superpotential, and is a holomorphic twisted superpotential. A full superspace integral, a chiral F-term, and a twisted F-term each vary by a spacetime or Berezin total derivative, so all three are supersymmetric.
Choose the Vector R-symmetry and Axial R-symmetry conventions
with conjugate coordinates transforming oppositely, and assign compatible charges to and . The D-term is invariant when is neutral, up to a generalized Kähler transformation. The chiral measure has vector R-charge and axial charge zero, whereas the twisted chiral measure has axial R-charge and vector charge zero. Hence classical invariance requires
together with neutrality of . Equivalently, and must be quasi-homogeneous with these charges; absent suitable charge assignments, the corresponding superpotential breaks that R-symmetry.
