Abstract
We investigate the behavior of two-dimensional quantum field theories with N = (0,2) supersymmetry under a deformation induced by the "T (T) over bar" composite operator. We show that the deforming operator can be defined by a point-splitting regularization in such a way as to preserve N = (0, 2) supersymmetry. As an example of this construction, we work out the deformation of a free N = (0,2) theory, compare to that induced by the Noether stress-energy tensor and argue that, despite their apparent difference, they are equivalent on shell. Finally, we show that the N = (0,2) supersymmetric deformed action actually possesses N = (2,2) symmetry, half of which is nonlinearly realized.

Supersymmetry and Supergravity

TL;DR: The second edition of this book appeared in 1983 and was based on a series of lectures given at Princeton in 1983 by Julius Wess as discussed by the authors, where the authors presented a general supersymmetric gauge invariant theory of chiral fields interacting with supergravity.

Lower dimensional gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, a constant curvature model for two dimensional space-time, analogous to the theory in three dimensional space time, is proposed, which avoids the triviality of the planar Einstein model by adding sources and a topological mass term.
