Constructing operator basis in supersymmetry: a Hilbert series approach

Abstract

Abstract In this paper we introduce a Hilbert series approach to build the operator basis for a N = 1 supersymmetry theory with chiral superfields. We give explicitly the form of the corrections that remove redundancies due to the equations of motion and integration by parts. In addition, we derive the maps between the correction spaces. This technique allows us to calculate the number of independent operators involving chiral and antichiral superfields to arbitrarily high mass dimension. Using this method, we give several illustrative examples.
