The Kähler potential is a real function integrated over all four fermionic coordinates, . Its complex Hessian gives the scalar Kähler metric and therefore the kinetic terms. The superpotential is holomorphic and is integrated over chiral superspace, ; its derivatives determine Yukawa couplings and the F-term scalar potential.
For the canonical Kähler potential , extracting the component of the supplied chiral-superfield component expansion and integrating by parts gives the bosonic action
in the mostly-plus convention. Extracting the component of a holomorphic function gives
so its bosonic term is , with the Hermitian conjugate understood in a real action. For several fields, eliminating each algebraic auxiliary field by produces .
