Abstract

We propose a manifestly supersymmetric formulation of the symmetry topological field theory for theories with supersymmetry. Our construction provides a superspace description in which symmetry and anomaly data, together with the relations among them imposed by supersymmetry, are manifestly organized into supermultiplets. Using the supergeometric formalism, we develop the general framework as a supersymmetric extension of BF theory and illustrate how familiar symmetry data are repackaged within it. As a first application, we study the two-dimensional compact superboson and its chiral counterpart, providing simple examples of the general construction.
