where qi and q̃i are chiral superfields with lowest components ρi and ρ̃i respectively (q̄ i and
q̃¯i are anti-chiral superfields with lowest components ρ̄i and ρ̃¯i respectively). The U (1) field
strength superfield is

with “· · · ” containing terms that are derivatives of the terms already appearing.
(b) [5 points] Use the result in part (a) to argue that jµ is a current for a flavor symmetry,
i.e.
[Qα , Q̂] = [Q̄α , Q̂] = 0 , (1.3)
where Z
Q̂ = d2 xj0 . (1.4)
(c) [3 points] Specialize to Nf = 1. What is the global internal symmetry of the theory
(both flavor and R symmetry)?

(a) [3 points] What is the global internal symmetry of the theory (both flavor and R
symmetry)?
(b) [4 points] Consider deforming the theory by turning on the following superpotential
with coupling λ ∈ C
W = λXY Z . (1.6)
What is the global internal symmetry of the theory now (both flavor and R symmetry)?
