A Supertwistor Formalism for $\mathcal{N}=1,2,3,4\;\text{SCFT}_3$

Abstract: We develop a manifest supertwistor space formalism for three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1, 2,3,4$ superconformal field theories. This formalism simultaneously makes manifest the supersymmetry, conformal invariance and conservation. We solve two and three point correlators of (half) integer spin conserved supercurrents using the graded supergroup generators. Apart from the superconformal generators, we find that the superhelicity operators are necessary to fix their functional form in this setup. The superhelicity operators can be recast into first order Euler equations which besides the standard polynomial solutions, also admit weak solutions that are distributional in nature. They play an important role in the case of three point functions, where the super-correlator takes the form of a product of delta functions. Interestingly, we find that these super-correlators are extremely simple, elegant and uniform for all spins and for all $\mathcal{N}\leq4$, which resemble the non supersymmetric correlators where the twistors are replaced with appropriately defined supertwistors.
