Axial-anomaly puzzle in supersymmetry gauge theories

OSTI ID:6247348

It is shown in n = 1 supersymmetry gauge theories that it is not possible to introduce an axial current which would be a superpartner of the energy-momentum tensor and which would belong to the same supermultiplet as the latter. The arguments are based on extremely weak assumptions: the Adler-Bardeen theorem in two loops and the existence of a Wess-Zumino supergauge.
