SUSY WT identity in a lattice formulation of 2D $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ SYM

Understand

We address some issues relating to a supersymmetric (SUSY) Ward-Takahashi (WT) identity in Sugino's lattice formulation of two-dimensional (2D) $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ $SU(k)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM).

• A perturbative argument shows that the SUSY WT identity in the continuum theory is reproduced in the continuum limit without any operator renormalization/mixing and tuning of lattice parameters.
• As application of the lattice SUSY WT identity, we show that a prescription for the hamiltonian density in this lattice formulation, proposed by Kanamori, Sugino and Suzuki, is justified also from a perspective of an operator algebra among correctly-normalized supercurrents.
• We explicitly confirm the SUSY WT identity in the continuum limit to the first nontrivial order in a semi-perturbative expansion.
