abstract

We consider ${\mathcal N}=1$ superconformal field theories in four dimensions possessing an additional conserved spinor current multiplet $S_{\alpha}$ and study three-point functions involving such an operator. A conserved spinor current multiplet naturally exists in superconformal theories with ${\mathcal N}=2$ supersymmetry and contains the current of the second supersymmetry. However, we do not assume ${\mathcal N}=2$ supersymmetry. We show that the three-point function of two spinor current multiplets and the ${\mathcal N}=1$ supercurrent depends on three independent tensor structures and, in general, is not contained in the three-point function of the ${\mathcal N}=2$ supercurrent. It then follows, based on symmetry considerations only, that the existence of one more Grassmann odd current multiplet in ${\mathcal N}=1$ superconformal field theory does not necessarily imply ${\mathcal N}=2$ superconformal symmetry.
