TL;DR

This paper derives supercurrent trace identities in N=1, D=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory within the Wess-Zumino gauge, connecting conservation laws to background supergravity fields and extending to a conformal supergravity framework.

Contribution

Findings

Derived supercurrent trace identities in the theory.

Established a formalism linking conservation laws to background fields.

Modified supergravity representation to include conformal symmetry.

Abstract

The supercurrent components of the N=1, D=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory in the Wess-Zumino gauge are coupled to the components of a background supergravitation field in the ``new minimal'' representation, in order to describe the various conservation laws in a functional way through the Ward identities for the diffeomorphisms and for the local supersymmetry, Lorentz and R-transformations. We also incorporate in the same functional formalism the supertrace identities, which leads however to a slight modification of the new minimal representation for supergravity, thus leading to a conformal version of it. The most general classical action obeying all the symmetry constraints is constructed.
