Abstract

We discuss the possibility to absorb all anomalies in the supersymmetry algebra of the N=(1,1) Wess–Zumino model in d=1+1 by a local counterterm. This counterterm corresponds to the change of the vacuum parameter [Formula: see text] in the model and the transition to an unconventional but admissible renormalization scheme. It does not modify the physical consequences such as BPS saturation, and thus the situation is rather different from gauge theory where local counterterms are required to absorb spurious gauge anomalies.
