Description

Using the superspace formalism, we compute, for the two-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric nonlinear σ model, the order (α')2(Rmnpq)2 (three-loop) correction to the central charge via the operator product expansion of the supercurrent with itself. The contribution vanishes, in agreement with previous results obtained from the usual σ-model β-function approach
