Witten's conformal boundary condition admits no half-supersymmetric extension in linearized minimal supergravity because supersymmetry maps the natural gravitino datum to the trace-free extrinsic curvature left unfixed by the conformal prescription.

A Linearized Obstruction to the Supersymmetric Extension of Conformal Boundary Conditions in Euclidean Gravity
Witten's conformal boundary condition admits no half-supersymmetric extension in linearized minimal supergravity because supersymmetry maps the natural gravitino datum to the trace-free extrinsic curvature left unfixed by the conformal prescription.
