Matter parity assigns −1 to every matter chiral superfield, including a singlet N describing a conjugate right-handed neutrino, and +1 to Higgs chiral superfields. Thus the quadratic superpotential term 21​Mij​Ni​Nj​ is even, although it changes lepton number by two. The higher-degree operators QQQL and (LHu​)2 are also even and violate baryon number or lepton number. Exact R-parity therefore forbids the renormalizable trilinear violations LLE, LQD, UDD, NHd​Hu​, NNN, but does not imply conservation of these continuous charges in every allowed interaction.
