Use left Grassmann derivatives and define the supersymmetric covariant derivatives $D_{\pm }={\partial }_{{\theta }^{\pm }}-i{\theta }^{\pm }{\partial }_{\pm }$. Multiplication in the indicated order gives exactly the printed differential operator:Thus the equation is $i{D}_{-}{D}_{+}\Phi =W(\Phi )$ in two-dimensional N=(1,1) superspace.

Under a Lorentz boost, take $x^{\pm }\mapsto e^{\pm \omega }{x}^{\pm }$ and ${\theta }^{\pm }\mapsto e^{\pm \omega /2}{\theta }^{\pm }$. The derivatives ${\partial }_{\pm }$ have boost weights $\mp 1$, and $D_{\pm }$ have weights $\mp 1/2$. Consequently $D_{-}{D}_{+}$ has weight zero, and is a Lorentz scalar. Both $\Phi$ and the ordinary function $W(\Phi )$ are scalar superfields, so the equation is Lorentz invariant.

For supersymmetry, $\{{\partial }_{\theta },\theta \}=1$ and anticommutation of distinct odd coordinates giveMoving either supercharge through the two odd derivatives introduces two minus signs, hence $[Q_t,D_{-}{D}_{+}]=0$. If $\delta \Phi ={ϵ}^{+}{Q}_{+}\Phi +{ϵ}^{-}{Q}_{-}\Phi$, with odd constant parameters, the chain rule for an even scalar superfield givesTherefore a solution is mapped to a solution, proving supersymmetry invariance.

To compute the supersymmetric Liouville equation, order the odd coordinates as ${\theta }^{-}{\theta }^{+}$ and anticommute the fermionic component fields with both coordinates. In particular, ${\partial }_{{\theta }^{+}}({\theta }^{-}{\theta }^{+})=-{\theta }^{-}$. Direct application of the operator givesLet $N=\Phi -\varphi$. Only the two products of its degree-one terms survive in $N^2$; for example, $(i{\theta }^{-}{\psi }_{+})(i{\theta }^{+}{\psi }_{-})={\theta }^{-}{\theta }^{+}{\psi }_{+}{\psi }_{-}$. Hence $N^2=2{\theta }^{-}{\theta }^{+}{\psi }_{+}{\psi }_{-}$ and $N^3=0$. The exponential function expands exactly asEquating the constant terms fixes the auxiliary field, $\boxed{F=e^{\varphi }}$. The linear and quadratic terms then give the requested component field equations of motion:The signs here follow from the printed operator, the printed component expansion, and left Grassmann derivatives; no convention change has been made in eliminating the auxiliary field.
