Canonical supercurrent bracket of free RNS matter (${\theta }_{++}=({\partial }_{+}X{)}^2+\frac{i}{2}{\psi }_1\cdot {\partial }_{+}{\psi }_1$)

For RNS string matter normalized by $[{\dot{X}}^{\mu }(\sigma ),X^{\nu }({\sigma }^{\prime })]=-i\pi {\eta }^{\mu \nu }\delta (\sigma -{\sigma }^{\prime })$ and $\{{\psi }_1^{\mu }(\sigma ),{\psi }_1^{\nu }({\sigma }^{\prime })\}=\pi {\eta }^{\mu \nu }\delta (\sigma -{\sigma }^{\prime })$, put $A={\partial }_{+}X$ and $J={\psi }_1\cdot A$. Then $[A^{\mu }(\sigma ),A^{\nu }({\sigma }^{\prime })]=(i\pi /2){\eta }^{\mu \nu }{\partial }_{\sigma }\delta (\sigma -{\sigma }^{\prime })$. The noncentral part of $\{J(\sigma ),J({\sigma }^{\prime })\}$ is $\pi \delta A^2+(i\pi /2){\partial }_{\sigma }\delta {\psi }_1(\sigma )\cdot {\psi }_1({\sigma }^{\prime })$. The distributional derivative identity $f(\sigma ,{\sigma }^{\prime }){\delta }^{\prime }=f(\sigma ,\sigma ){\delta }^{\prime }+({\partial }_{{\sigma }^{\prime }}f)(\sigma ,\sigma )\delta$, with a vanishing coincident Grassmann bilinear, converts this to $\pi \delta {\theta }_{++}$. Use the chiral equation of motion to identify ${\partial }_{\sigma }{\psi }_1={\partial }_{+}{\psi }_1$. Quantum normal ordering adds a central contact term proportional to ${\delta }^{\prime \prime }$, the local form of the N=1 super-Virasoro algebra central extension.
