Superpotential critical-point shift

ID: superpotential-critical-point-shift

For a canonical chiral superfield, an affine translation preserves the kinetic action up to a vanishing full-superspace term. It removes the linear superpotential term exactly when is a critical point. For , the shifted quadratic coefficient is with . A real shift requires a real root; the complex field permits a complex shift as well.
