Matter parity assigns to every matter chiral superfield, including a singlet describing a conjugate right-handed neutrino, and to Higgs chiral superfields. Thus the quadratic superpotential term is even, although it changes lepton number by two. The higher-degree operators and are also even and violate baryon number or lepton number. Exact R-parity therefore forbids the renormalizable trilinear violations , , , , , but does not imply conservation of these continuous charges in every allowed interaction.
