Description
We introduce the superfield analog of the Beltrami differential. We characterize in this way the superconformal structure of the geometry of two-dimensional superspace. We obtain the superdiffeomorphism transformations of these fields under the form of a graded differential (BRST) algebra. The factorization of this algebra has an obvious interest in superstring theory. Superfields with arbitrary conformal weights are studied. (orig.)
