Supersymmetry and complexified spectrum on Euclidean AdS2
Abstract
Quantum study of supersymmetric theories on Euclidean two dimensional anti-de Sitter space (AdS2 ) is invalid if we use the standard normalizable functional basis due to its incompatibility with supersymmetry. We cure this problem by demonstrating that supersymmetry requires a complexified spectrum and constructing the supersymmetric basis for scalar and spinor fields. Our new basis is free of fermionic zero modes, delta-function normalizable with respect to a newly defined inner product, and compatible with the supersymmetric asymptotic boundary condition. We also explore the one-loop evaluation using this basis and show that it agrees with the standard nonsupersymmetric basis up to a global contribution arising from the fermion zero mode.
